Enhancing Learning, Enriching Living
Highland Young Musician of the Year 2024
S4 pupil, Fin Young from Ardnamurchan High School was awarded the coveted title of Highland Young Musician of the Year 2024 this weekend at an event which took place at the Highland Archive Centre in Inverness.
Fin wowed the audience and perhaps more importantly, the Judges with his piano programme.
His winning performance will now see him representing Highland at the Scottish Young Musician of the Year competition in May at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Glasgow.
