In September 2021, The City of Newport Symphony Orchestra was delighted to announce the launch of a new music initiative for young classical musicians in Gwent for 2022.
The Orchestra is hosting two new music competitions namely Gwent Young Musician 2022 and the Gwent Concerto Soloist 2022
Along with partners Gwent Music and supported by local music suppliers Ev-entz, the City of Newport Symphony Orchestra see this initiative as an important addition to the cultural ambitions of Newport, as an annual competition and legacy to be celebrated in the city.
This competition was open to all classical instrumental students of string, wind, brass, piano and percussion instruments from, resident or studying in Gwent and is a golden opportunity for all these talented and aspiring young musicians to become either the Gwent Young Musician 2022 or Gwent Concerto Soloist 2022.
