Award-winning young musicians in Alnwick

Indira is a young cellist and comes as one of the winners of Making Music’s Philip and Dorothy Green Young Artists Award (PDGYA) scheme.

Mike Alexander, society chairman, said: “Making Music is the UK’s leading organisation for leisure-time music, with over 3,500 music groups in membership. Since its creation in 1961 PDGYA scheme has helped to launch the careers of dozens of young musicians, including Steven Isserlis and Craig Ogden.”

Charlotte is a young violinist who has recently become a prize winner at the 2021 Young Concert Artists Trust (YCAT) International Auditions.

Mike said: “Since we booked Charlotte, she has become part of YCAT, who choose some of the best young musicians in the country and help guide their careers. They now also link up with the New York Concert Arts Guild.

"We are delighted to welcome these two young musicians to Alnwick for a recital which will include violin and cello duos, along with solo cello and solo violin works.”

The recital takes place on Monday, October 4 in St Paul’s Church on Percy Street at 7.30pm.

It forms part of the society’s delayed ‘2020-21 season’ which now runs until November.
