About the competition

The Rotary (Greater Bristol) Young Musician Competition, run by seven Rotary Clubs from Bristol and the surrounding counties, is open to instrument or voice students aged 13 to 17 who can offer a predominantly classical music programme at ABRSM Grade 7 level or higher. Heats take place in Bristol in November, with a Final in January. The time for applications has now expired. The competition is under way!

After three exciting Heats, with 26 participants and quite outstanding performances on ten different instruments, six performers have now been selected to go forward to the Finals on January 24th 2025. This event is open to the public. There is a link for booking below.

The Finals will be held in the newly refurbished Lantern Hall, adjacent to the main hall in the recently re-opened Bristol Beacon concert venue:
