Euan Kemp, 17, won Scottish Young Musicians Solo Performer of the Year 2024 after impressing judges with his rendition of Improvisation No.1 by Ryo Noda and Fantaisie-Impromptu by André Jolivet.
Winner Euan Kemp said: “I feel amazing having won this competition and honoured to have represented East Dunbartonshire and Douglas Academy. I’ve been making music in East Dunbartonshire for the whole of my musical career, starting with the children’s chorus in P2 and then growing through playing in orchestras and ensembles both in school and the wider Local Authority.
Jake Johnstone from South Lanarkshire shares second place with Magnus Shanks from Aberdeenshire. Jake left audiences captivated with his accordion pieces which were accompanied by his younger sister on the piano.. Both receive £250 to spend on musical activities and a coaching session and masterclass slot at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
"The final is the culmination of individual school and local authority competitions. While today we witnessed some of our most gifted musicians, the festival's aim is to encourage the broadest participation of all talents through all communities. Credit goes to the enthusiasm of teachers who've embraced SYM, our incredible hard-working team that has made it happen, and the generosity of our supporters who have provided funds, prizes and assistance.
