成人论坛 Young Musician: 2012 - Keyboard Final

Trying to impress the judges and reach the semi-final, keyboard players Dominic Degavino, Victor Lim, Yuanfan Yang, Adam Boeker and Martin Bartlett take to the stage.

Clemency Burton-Hill presents highlights of the 成人论坛 Young Musician 2012 Category Finals from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff. With behind the scenes access, the programmes feature all the news, profiles of the category finalists and extensive highlights from their performances.

Over the next four weeks, the ultimate music contest returns to shine a spotlight on some of the UK's most talented young instrumentalists, as Keyboard, Brass, Strings, Woodwind and Percussion competitors battle it out for just 5 places in the Semi Final. But this isn't your average TV talent show and there is no fast-track to success - these gifted musicians will have years of practice behind them and are all Grade 8 standard or above. Just to have reached this stage they'll have already survived two gruelling rounds of auditions.

The new series kicks off with a dazzling display from five young pianists: 15 year old Martin Bartlett; 18 year old Victor Lim; Adam Boeker, age 15, Dominic Degavino, age 16 and 15 year old Yuanfan Yang, give some remarkable performances, with a diverse repertoire that includes works by Dutilleux, Chopin, Scarlatti and even a competitor's self-penned composition. Each of them are determined to impress the judges to win the Keyboard Category, which will gain them that all-important place in the Semi-Final and a shot at the 成人论坛 Young Musician 2012 title.
