Cheshire East Young Musician of the Year
On Sunday 3rd March, the Cheshire East Musician of the Year competition was held at Sandbach School. We received a fantastic number of entries this year, and the day was a great success. Performers were divided into five age groups (based on school key stages), with each age group split into instrumental and vocal classes. Entrants were free to choose the piece they wished to perform, which resulted in a great variety of music during the day – from Beethoven to Broadway! Many thanks to our expert judges: Lyn Bastock, Mark Wilkinson, Nigel Stoiner and John Barber. Thank you and well done to all who took part. Particular congratulations to the category winners, all of whom received a cash prize.
