Toril Azzalini-Machecler received a special award for for Most Outstanding Performance in the long-deferred Final of the BBC Young Musician 2020. The BBCYM outright winner was another percussionist Fang Zhang who saw off all comers, but the judges felt that Toril’s performance in the Percussion Final (way back last year) deserved a Special Award.
You can still enjoy Toril’s conversation with Maxwell from last month’s Cherubim Second Sunday Concert & Chat https://youtu.be/TTZyBSG6rvE?t=102
Also congratulations to Emily Ambrose for being a joint-winner of the Two Moors YM Competition 2021.
