2022: 2. Woodwind Final Highlights
Saxophonist Jess Gillam and pianist and composer Alexis Ffrench bring us highlights of the woodwind final of BBC Young Musician 2022, as five exceptional young players compete for a place in the competition’s grand final. \n\nPerforming in this programme are flautists Isaac Skey (14) and Sofia Patterson-Gutiérrez (17), clarinettists Lucas Dick (17) and Alex Buckley (18), and saxophonist Thomas Priestley (18).\n\nThe jury features two former BBC Young Musician alumni. Clarinettist Emma Johnson won the overall title in 1984 and is now a hugely successful solo artist, while flautist Karen Jones won this category final in 1982 and has since enjoyed an illustrious career as the principal flute of the London Chamber Orchestra. Chair of the jury across the series is organist and conductor Anna Lapwood.
