2015 Young Musician Competition – Young Violinist Scoops Prize

The Alcester Singers held its Young Musician of the Year competition on 20th November 2015

Six young people competed for the the title and a prize of £150 to go towards their musical education. The winner was 13 year old Amy Moynihan who played a Kreisler Prelude and Allegro on the violin.

The three judges were unanimous in their decision and commented on the depth of feeling with which Amy played.

Special mention was also made by the judges about Joshua Osborn- Patel who performed Hunters Moon on the French Horn and Ben Snodgrass playing a Greig Sonata on the piano, both played exceptionally well but could not top Amy’s performance.

Amy, having already achieved Grade 8 on the violin, is now working towards her Diploma award. She will be invited to play at an Alcester Singers concert during 2016.
