Sevenoaks Young Musician Soloists

The Sevenoaks Young Musician of the Year Competition was founded by June Clements in 1995, and the prize includes an opportunity to play a concerto with The Lydian Orchestra. The standard of the competitors each year has been astounding, and the difficult task of picking a winner has resulted in some truly outstanding young musicians receiving the first prize. See the Sevenoaks Three Arts Festival for more details.
