Eurovision Young Musicians

The Eurovision Young Musicians (French: L'Eurovision des Jeunes Musiciens; abbrev. as EYM or shortened as Young Musicians), is a biennial classical music competition for European musicians that are aged between 12 and 21. It is organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and broadcast on television throughout Europe, with some countries holding national elections to choose their representatives for the contest.

Some of the competitors are famous musicians like Anna Markland and Paul Meyer. The latest winner of the Eurovision Young Musicians is Daniel Matejča  with the piece 3Violin Concerto No. 1 (written by Dmitri Shostakovich) of Czechia. The Eurovision Young Musicians was created by the EBU based on the BBC Young Musician. The first contest took place at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, UK on 11 May 1982 and the last contest celebrated took place at the Usher Hall, Edinburgh, UK. The Eurovision Young Musicians 2020 was planned and later canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, to take place at the King Tomislav Square in Zagreb, Croatia.
