Reading Symphony Orchestra's Young Musician of the Year 2026

Olivia entered Reading Symphony Orchestra's Young Musician of the Year 2026 Competition. She competed against seven other fantastic musicians, who all performed amazingly well.
The judges were impressed with Olivia's musicality and technical ability, and she won the competition. She was awarded a beautiful glass trophy and a prize of £200 to spend on musical equipment at Hickies.
As a result of winning the competition, Olivia has also been invited to perform as a soloist with Reading Symphony Orchestra, being offered the opportunity to perform a concerto in one of their 2026/27 season concerts (most likely February or April 2027).
Congratulations to Olivia!
