The competition reaches the quarter-final stage and for the remaining musicians, it鈥檚 all to play for.

Presented by star saxophonist and broadcaster Jess Gillam, herself a former 成人论坛 Young Musician finalist, it鈥檚 time for the first six musicians to perform again for the judges, this time in front of an audience. With such a high standard of talent to choose from, the judges have their work cut out as the competition hots up and tensions mount.

Making the big decisions are world renowned trumpet player Alison Balsom, pianist Alexis Ffrench, who has over half a billion streams to his name, and multi-instrumentalist and DJ Hannah Catherine Jones. The judges are looking for one winner on the night to go through automatically to the next stage. For the remaining contestants there鈥檚 still a chance to progress, but we鈥檒l have to wait until next week to discover who the judges choose as their four wild cards.

Filmed at Swansea University鈥檚 Great Hall, this first quarter-final features some mesmerising performances from the next generation of classical stars. Who will win and be the first to claim their place in the semi-final?
