Brass Final Highlights
Two French horn players, two trombonists and a tuba player compete in the brass category final of 大象传媒 Young Musician 2020 for a place in the competition's semi-final.
Two places in the 大象传媒 Young Musician 2020 semi-final have already been decided. Now it鈥檚 the turn of the brass players to impress as organist and conductor Anna Lapwood presents highlights of the Brass Final. Filmed at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff, Anna is joined by one of the world鈥檚 leading euphonium players, David Childs, to review each performance.
Saxophonist and music evangelist Jess Gillam returns with the next in her series of conversations. In this programme, she meets up with her fellow 2016 大象传媒 Young Musician finalist, French horn player, Ben Goldscheider.
Competing in this closely matched category final are 18-year-old French horn player Joseph Longstaff from Hertfordshire, trombonist Meggie Murphy, who is 19 and from Cardiff, 18-year-old tuba player William Burton from Sheffield, also on French horn, 17-year-old Annemarie Federle from Cambridge, and also aged 17, trombonist Rhydian Tiddy from Ammanford, South Wales. The programme includes profiles of each of the competitors together with highlights of their performances.
An expert panel of judges is tasked with choosing a winner to represent the brass category in the semi-final. They are trombonist Peter Moore, winner of 大象传媒 Young Musician in 2008 when he was just 12 years old, Katy Woolley, principal horn with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam, and chair of all the category final judging panels, Angela Dixon, chief executive of the award-winning performance venue, Saffron Hall.
The complete brass final can be seen in full on 大象传媒 iPlayer, hosted by Josie d鈥橝rby.
