This year’s Avison Ensemble Young Musicians’ Awards 2010 Final was held on Sunday, 21st March 2010 at the Shipley Art Gallery in the presence of the Sheriff of Newcastle Upon Tyne Cllr Brenda Hindmarsh. The Awards judges heard 12 finalists for the three categories of Grades 1-3, 4 – 6 and 7 and above. The winners of the three age groups were presented with engraved glass trophies created by the North East glass artist Dominic Fonde which are inscribed with music from the Avison workbooks. These are displayed in the winners’ schools for a year. The Awards were founded in 2006 and this year’s Awards have been supported by The Sir James Knott Trust.
