2022: 6. Grand Final
BBC Young Musician 2022 reaches its climax as we bring you full coverage of the competition’s grand final from Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall.\n\nFor over 40 years, BBC Young Musician has been the UK’s premier platform for the most outstanding young classical talent in the country. At its heart, the competition is a celebration of the passion, dedication, ambition and potential of young performers across the four nations. But beyond that, it has the power to change lives and has launched some of the most significant musical careers of the past four decades: among the long list of former winners and finalists are many of the leading musicians of our time, including Sheku Kanneh-Mason, Nicola Benedetti, Alison Balsom, Natalie Clein, Stephen Hough and Thomas Adès.\n \nFive extraordinary teenage performers have won their category finals in strings, woodwind, brass, percussion and keyboard. Tonight, these five winners each perform a full concerto at Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall with the BBC Philharmonic and conductor Mark Wigglesworth. \n\nThe overall winner of the title BBC Young Musician 2022 will be chosen by a distinguished panel of judges: musician and composer Anoushka Shankar, conductor Ben Gernon, BBC Radio 3 editor Emma Bloxham and head of classical music at London’s Southbank Centre, Toks Dada. They join our chair of the jury, organist and director of music at Pembroke College, Cambridge, Anna Lapwood, who also chaired the judging panels at the category finals.\n\nPresented by Josie d’Arby, Alexis Ffrench and Jess Gillam.
