Category Winners

In 2013, the structure of the competition was changed and 5 separate categories were introduced; 'Gregynog Young String Player of the Year', 'Gregynog Young Pianist of the Year', 'Gregynog Young Woodwind Player of the Year', 'Gregynog Young Brass Player' and 'Gregynog Young Harpist / Guitarist / Percussionist of the Year'. The 'Young Accompanist Prize' was also instituted for accompanists aged 23 and under. The competition rules allow joint winners in a single category should a winner not be identified in another category.
