Success for past winners of the
Cambridge Young Composer of the Year
Many congratulations to two past winners of the Cambridge Young Composer of the Year competition who have been awarded prizes in a prestigious national composing competition.

Alexia Sloane (16) who is our current Cambridge Young Composer of the Year and Alex Woolf (21) who won the competition in 2012, have both been named as winners of the Royal Philharmonic Society/Classic FM 25th Birthday Commissions.

Just seven young people received one of the RPS/Classic FM awards, which involve a paid commission to write a piece of music to be recorded live and broadcast on-air to Classic FM’s 5.4 million listeners across the UK. The awards were open to any young person in the UK born since Classic FM's first broadcast in September 1992. Full details can be viewed here.
