The BBC Young Musician of the Year is a televised music competition, broadcast on BBC Two and BBC Four biennially, and hosted by the British Broadcasting Corporation.[1] The competition is designed for British percussion, keyboard, string, brass and woodwind players, all of whom must be eighteen years of age or under.[2]
The competition was established in 1978 by Humphrey Burton and Walter Todds, both of whom are former members of the BBC Television Music Department.[1] In 1994, the usage of percussion instruments were permitted, alongside the existing keyboard, string, brass and woodwind categories, and is still permitted for use nowadays.[1] Since its introduction, the allowance of percussion instruments has increased interest of the competition among young people.[1] Currently, the competition has five stages, which consist of regional auditions, regional finals, quarter-finals, semi-finals and the final,[3] which for 2008 will be hosted at the Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff on 10 May, 2008.[4] As a result of the success of the competition, the Eurovision Young Musicians competition was initiated in 1982.[1]
