Not one but two recent alumni made it to the finals of BBC Young Musician this year.
Alex Buckley (Tyson’s 2022) and Sophie Warner (Spurgeon’s 2022) appeared on the BBC this week in the Woodwind and Percussion finals.
Alex started clarinet age nine and made it all the way Woodwind Final. His performance at Saffron Hall drew praise from the judges for its captivating warmth and bravery.
Playing the drums and then the vibraphone, percussionist Sophie produced a "fierce, dynamic, pulsating and swashbuckling" performance in her Final.
You can watch both Sophie and Alex’s performances on the BBC iPlayer at the links below.
