Musician of the Year 2021
02 July 2021
Our annual Musician of the Year competition is an opportunity to showcase the musicianship, skill and poise of young performers from across the Preparatory and the Senior Schools and the calibre of talent in this year's competition set the bar incredibly high. Competitors audition on their instrument or voice, before the finalists are selected to perform for a visiting adjudicator who has the casting vote.
This year, due to Covid restrictions, each performance was submitted by video and the selected finalists were presented to our adjudicator, Mr Andrew Morley. Mr Morley, a distinguished conductor and instrumentalist with extensive professional experience at the highest level, carefully considered each performance before presenting his selected winners in each category, followed by the overall winner for both the Prep and Senior School.
We are delighted to announce the winners:
Preparatory School Year Group Winners:
Year 3: Katerina
Year 4: Anya
Year 5: Sarah
Year 6: Aurelia
Prep Musician of the Year 2021: Nia
