The Bursary is to give young musicians an opportunity to gain funding to help them continue their musical studies. Nine performers from vocalists, pianists, guitarists, a cellist and a trumpeter gave stunning performances to a packed audience.
Four soloists now move forward to battle it out in the next round on Saturday June 30th at 2.00pm. They are George Collins (guitar) Ben Finlay (cello) Brian Low (piano) and Ben Jarvis (trumpet) Each playing for a share of the £18000 available to further their studies.
Andrew commented "It was a wonderful afternoon watching talented young people play a variety of music."
