Six talented young musicians from Northern Ireland will get the chance to further develop their craft after receiving the Young Musicians’ Platform Award.
Opera singer Andrew Irwin, cellist Angus McCall and pianist Justine Gormley were selected in the classical category, Jack Warnock and Rose Connolly in the traditional section and Roisin Donald (ROE) was chosen as the singer-songwriter awardee.
The awards are aimed at showcasing their abilities and support their development.
They will all now get the opportunity to spend time learning from a master musician, mentor, teacher or composer, either at home or abroad, with individual funding awards of up to £5,000.
