The Rotary Club of Dunmow recently held their fourth annual Young Musician Competition, which took place at Helena Romanes School.

There were 12 musical performances at the event from both singers and instrumentalists, 

The five singers sang a range of songs including 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow', 'Any Dream Will Do', 'Dreams' and 'Dream Valley'.

Instrumentalists played piano, trombone, electric guitar and violin, performing music ranging from Chopin to AC/DC.

The overall winner was Harry, who performed as a singer and played the trombone in the instrumental section.

Individual category winners will now go through to the district finals in Chelmsford in early 2024.

Two professional musicians, Simon and James, judged the competition and provided feedback to all the entrants.
