Rotary MK Young Musician Final

The Rotary MK Young Musician Final is at Church of Christ the Cornerstone on Sunday 1 November, presented by the Rotary Club of Milton Keynes. It's the culmination of a competition that brings together young musicians from across the area, all competing for the top honours. The final follows a heats stage, so the performers you'll see on the day have already played their way through to this round.

One thing that sets this apart from a typical competition is that it's as much about recognition as it is about winning: every candidate is awarded a medal and a certificate, regardless of where they place. It's a good way to see a range of young talent in one go, and the afternoon is as much about supporting these emerging artists as it is about the competition itself. There's also a nod to those who took part in the heats along the way, so it's a chance to congratulate the whole group.

The afternoon runs for around two hours, and an official photographer will be there to capture the day. Entry is free, so you can just turn up and listen without needing to book ahead. The music starts at 3:30pm, with doors opening at 2:30pm, giving you plenty of time to get settled before the first act takes the stage. You'll find the venue at Church of Christ the Cornerstone, 300 Saxon Gate, Milton Keynes MK9 2ES.
