The youngest ever winner of the BBC Young Musician competition is coming to play a concert on the Isle of Wight.

West Wight Arts Association will kick off its new season with internationally acclaimed trombonist Peter Moore joining up with mezzo-soprano Anna Huntley and pianist Michael McHale. 

They will provide an evening of songs, duets and arrangements by composers ranging from Schumann to Kurt Weil, at Freshwater Memorial Hall on September 14.

Peter is the youngest ever winner of the BBC Young Musician competition, having won it when he was 12.

On October 12, the association will welcome the award winning Carducci String Quartet to perform a dream programme of Mozart, Mendelssohn and Ravel.

On November it is the turn of young Italian piano trio, Trio Chagall, already ECHO (European Concert Hall Organisation) Rising Stars, to play Mendelssohn and Schumann. 

The Christmas concert on December 7 will see a return of the popular and talented A4 Brass Quartet, players from some of the UK’s top brass bands including Black Dyke, Brighouse and Rastrick and Foden’s, playing Bach to Bernstein.
