Meet our Young Composers’ Competition 2024/25 finalists

Written by The National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain on February 20, 2025

Our 2nd Young Composers’ Competition closed at the end of December and we were delighted that 29 aspiring composers submitted works to this year’s competition. Our panel of esteemed judges, Maestro Martyn Brabbins, composer Gavin Higgins and The NYBBGB’s Director of Artistic Planning Dr Robert Childs were blown away by the quality and standard of entries received. We would like to thank everybody who entered the competition.

Our judging panel are delighted to announce their 10 shortlisted competition finalists! You can find out more about each finalist and their composition on our competition page here.

Competition winners will be announced later in the spring. The winning pieces will be performed at the NYBBGB Youth Band summer concert in the Amaryllis Fleming Concert Hall of the Royal College of Music, London under the baton of Maestro Martyn Brabbins on 9th August 2025. Tickets for this concert are available here.
