Avison Ensemble Young Musicians' Awards 2018 Winners' Concert, The Literary and Philosophical Society, Newcastle, Saturday 28 April 2018

The Joint 3rd Place Winner of the Grades 4 to 6 category: a violinist performing Shostakovich's The Gadly.

This year's Avison Ensemble Young Musicians' Awards 2018 Winners’ Concert was held on Saturday 28 April 2018 at the Literary and Philosophical Society, Newcastle.

Winners from this year’s Awards performed and they were also presented with their trophies, certificates and music vouchers, as well as a year’s membership of the Literary and Philosophical Society’s Library.

On view during the Concert was one of Charles Avison’s music Workbooks. Autograph manuscripts by Avison were practically unknown until the Avison Ensemble acquired his two autograph music Workbooks in 2002. The Workbooks provide a rare glimpse into how Avison and other 18th century composers devised their music, as well as containing previously unknown pieces by Avison and transcriptions of music by others. These manuscripts are therefore of great importance both to the cultural history of Newcastle and the North East and to our understanding of the musical world in England in the 18th century.

The Avison Ensemble is highlighting the existence and importance of the Workbooks through a series of events and learning projects in Newcastle and the North East with funding awarded by The Heritage Lottery Fund. www.hlf.org.uk/

The Awards were set up in 2006 to encourage young musical talent across the North East Region. The annual Awards is not a music competition but rather an opportunity for young players to perform in front of a live audience and to receive encouragement and support from professional musicians. The entrants to the Awards receive tuition and guidance, as well as important encouragement to continue their musical education. Everyone taking part in this event is given the same expert advice and assessments. The finalists are also assessed on their talents for live performance.

We’re grateful to the Heritage Lottery Fund for supporting this year’s Awards as part of our Charles Avison Workbook project. The support of the HLF also enabled us to show one of Avison’s original manuscript Workbooks as part of the event. It’s important to us that through his Workbook Avison was present during the Awards to support today’s local young musical talent! @HeritageLotteryFund

We're also grateful to the Literary and Philosophical Society for hosting this year's Finals and for generously presenting each of the winners with a year's membership. www.litandphil.org.uk
