North & East London Young Musician of the Year Final

Congratulations to all three finalists who made the competition final on Sunday 29 September such a special occasion. The winner on the night was Esther Park who played the first movement of the Sibelius Violin Concerto. We look forward to welcoming Esther back in December to perform a full violin concerto with the orchestra.
