Ten young musicians had been invited to play before the adjudicating panel of Hilary Finch (music critic and a feature writer for The Times), Euros Rhys Jones (professional musician, composer and international board examiner) and Ben Hancox, (award-winning professional violinist) before one would ultimately be chosen as the Gregynog Young Musician of the Year 2007, and receiving the Peter Garbett-Edwards Memorial Trophy."

Thank you Stephen for your comment. What a shame that the Festival Committee have not had the grace to provide you with photographs of your achievement. Congratulations to you on your achievement and best wishes for a successful future in music.

Well I was in the final and am looking for some nice photos now! A 12 year old violinist called Julia Hwang who is already an international soloist won the competition deservedly. 2nd was Toby Hughes, a double bass player and 3rd was shared by Ben (I think) Hancock-Evans on piano and Glain Dafydd on harp. Another piano player and I (horn player) were the other two places. Hope this helps...I have no photos though!
