Kilgraston’s Young Musician of the Year 2021

Kilgraston’s Young Musician of the Year 2021

Music runs to the heart of Kilgraston and Kilgraston’s Young Musician of the Year competition is always one of the annual musical highlights.

Every year the standard of musicality is outstanding and even though this year, the competition was performed virtually, the pupils’ talents are clear. As Kilgraston’s Director of Music, Mr McAuley says, “You really are exceptional young musicians.”

So it is with immense pleasure that we can announce this year’s Senior School competition winners.

The Grade 3 and 4 class was a large class, so we have numerous positions to highlight. The results are as follow:

Winner: Martha, L5 Voice Feed the Birds, Sherman
2nd Place: Emily, L5 Guitar Yesterday, Lennon and McCartney
3rd Place: Maia, U4 Voice & Guitar Closer

In addition, the following two are Highly Commended:
Lexie, U5 Flute Chasing Pavements, Adele
Isla, U4 Piano Walking in the Air, Blake

In the grade 5 and 6 class the winner was:
Emily, L5 Piano Princess Mononoke (Ashitaka and San), Hisaishi

Before the Easter holidays, we were also delighted in being able to announce our Junior School Young Musician of the Year.

Huge well done to everyone who took part. We would also like to say thank you to Mr McAuley for organising, to Mr Cormack and Mr Murch for accompanying, and Mr Pryke for the recording.

You can enjoy performances from our 2020 winners, Olivia in our Junior School and Emma in our Senior School, as well as watch our 2021 Open Class where the winner of Kilgraston’s Senior Young Musician of the Year 2021 is announced…enjoy.
