The Regional Final of the Young Musician competition took place on Saturday March 19th in Colchester. District 1130 was represented by Rebecca Leung (aged 11) and Christopher Hirschman (aged 17), both of whom performed at the recent Youth Makes Music concert. The standard of performance from all the competitors at the Final was very high and the judges admitted that selecting a winner was not easy but I’m pleased to say that they chose Rebecca. She will now go forward to the RIBI Final on May 14th at Bedford School, De Parys Avenue, Bedford MK40 2TU.

Youth Makes Music 2011
The next Youth Makes Music Concert takes place at the Royal Festival Hall, Monday 14th March, 2011 at 7.00pm. In order to ensure that we have the usual high quality musicians, I should, be grateful if clubs would now start looking for performers. Although nomination of school groups will probably have to await the return from the summer holidays, there are individual performers and other youth organisations that will continue with their music throughout the summer. The application form and the criteria for performers can be found on the Youth Makes Music page.
We look forward to receiving many applications.
If you require any further clarification or information please do not hesitate to contact me, but please send entries to Tony Fieldhouse as indicated on the application form.
Thanks in anticipation for the efforts that I know that you are going to make.
