BBC Young Musician: Woodwind Final Highlights (S2022EP2 BBC Four Monday 3 October 2022)
Woodwind Final Highlights: Five exceptional young musicians compete for a spot in the BBC Young Musician 2022 woodwind final, and saxophonist Jess Gillam and pianist and composer Alexis Ffrench bring us highlights of the competition.
Flautists Isaac Skey (14) and Sofia Patterson-Gutiérrez (17) as well as clarinettists Lucas Dick (17) and Alex Buckley (18) and saxophonist Thomas Priestley (18) perform on this programme.
Two former BBC Young Musicians are on the jury. While flautist Karen Jones won this category final in 1982 and has since enjoyed an illustrious career as the principal flute of the London Chamber Orchestra, clarinettist Emma Johnson won the overall title in 1984 and is now a very successful solo artist. Organizer and conductor Anna Lapwood serves as the jury’s chair for the entire series.
