    • Barnes Young Musician of the Year 2021

      Our new deadline for applicants is Monday 22 March 2021

      Now in its 5th year the award, presented in conjunction with the Barnes Music Society, provides an opportunity for students of Grade 6 standard and above, who either live, attend school or take their instrumental lessons in Barnes (currently SW13 & SW14) to showcase their talent.

      Past participants can be seen and heard in the major youth orchestras in London, and even as concerto and recital soloists, and some of them have gone on to study music at leading universities.

       

      Please read the guidelines carefully before filling out the application form.

      Guidelines

      For 2021 we welcome Jane Gordon as our adjudicator

       

      Described as playing with ‘glowing conviction’ (Financial Times) and a ‘ravishing tone and depth of timbre’ (The Independent), Jane’s expressive and refined performances have won critical acclaim, establishing her as one of the leading violinists of her generation. A wonderfully versatile musician, her musical activities span classical concerti, solo recitals, a wide variety of chamber music, period instrument performance and play/ directing orchestras from the violin. She is passionate about exploring musical freedom in performance through a holistic approach and gives workshops on performance psychology and health.

       

      British conductor and accompanist David Syrus has been our resident accompanist since 2018. David was Head of Music at The Royal Opera from 1993 to 2017.

      The Festival will follow the latest available Covid-19 Government guidelines to ensure all venues, rehearsals, concerts and indeed the BYM competition will be covid secure.
