BBC Young Musician 2016 - Final

The final of BBC Young Musician 2016, recorded at the Barbican, London. Presented by Clemency Burton-Hill, Alison Balsom and Josie D’Arby.

Three instrumentalists remain in the UK's leading contest for young classical musicians. Recorded earlier in the day at the Barbican, the finalists perform concertos of their choice - accompanied by the BBC Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Mark Wigglesworth - before the winner of BBC Young Musician 2016 is announced.

There will also be a guest appearance by the winner of BBC Young Musician 2014, pianist Martin James Bartlett who will perform the first movement of Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto no.3.

Violinist and former BBC Young Musician Nicola Benedetti continues in her role as Ambassador in 2016, mentoring the three finalists in the run-up to the Final.
