The Xaverian College Young Musician of The Year Competition was held recently in front of a packed house in the college’s Drama Studio. There was a record number of entries this year and the musicians demonstrated an extremely high level of performance.

The competition has been running for many years and assists students in their preparations for conservatoire and university auditions; giving them invaluable performance experience.

The panel consisted of Xaverian College music teachers and peripatetic instrumental tutors.

The results are as follows:

1st – Josh Hart: Electric Guitar

2nd – Eden Devaney: Voice

Joint 3rd – Alfie Bousfield: Euphonium & Bradley Gore: Alto Saxophone

The adjudication of this year’s competition was extremely difficult. It was an absolute pleasure to hear musicians perform with such maturity, confidence and musicality.
