& the invitation to perform a solo recital at the North Wales International Music Festival 2025

The Pendine Young Musician of Wales Competition is a unique opportunity for young musicians born or living in Wales to showcase their talents at the North Wales International Music Festival, be judged by world renowned judges, receive expert feedback on their performances and perform in one of the greatest acoustics in Wales, St Asaph Cathedral, as well as to be broadcast on BBC Radio Cymru.

The standard of applicants for the Pendine Young Musician of the Year 2024 is incredibly high. Therefore, we have decided to merge sections 1, 2, 3 & 4 into one semi-final event (Round 2) so that all semi-finalists can be heard by the same judges on the same night.

This means that there will be no event on Monday (16th September). All semi-finalists will compete on Tuesday (17th September) from 6pm in St Asaph Cathedral. The Grand Final (Wednesday 18th from 7pm) is unaffected by this change.
