Celebrating the talents of vocalists and instrumentalists across Great Britain & Ireland - closing date for local heats is Wednesday 7th January 2026
A wonderful opportunity for local students to take part in either the instrumental or vocal section and get the chance to perform in front of an appreciative audience with the added benefit of an appraisal of their talents from our experienced Adjudicator, Roger Coull.
Share your gift of song or mastery of a musical instrument in Rotary’s Young Musician competition.
Participants will get the chance to experience performing on a public stage as they showcase their musical talent and receive feedback from experienced adjudicators.
You will perform in a local heat first before going, if selected onto a district final, a cluster final and then onto the national final on Saturday 25th April 2026 (venue TBC).
Entrants can be either a solo vocalist or solo instrumentalist and the competition is open to young musicians up to the age of 17 (as of 31st August 2025).
The local heat will take place on the evening of Wednesday 14th January 2026, in the Rehearsal Room at Bablake School , Coundon Road, Coventry CV4 1AU. The event is due to start at 6.00 p.m. with the same format as last year.
