TWO awards were celebrated by young musicians.

St Egwins C Of E Middle School music department scooped the top two coveted titles at the Evesham Young Musician of the Year awards.

The bi-annual competition that has been running for over twenty years was held at St Peters, Bengeworth, as part of the main annual Festival Of Music.

Kiaragh Brown aged 12 won the junior title with voice and piano and performed at the Frame festival in Church Lench on Sunday whilst Mollie McConnon followed up her junior title win in 2015 with a fantastic balanced trio of pieces on her clarinet and also performed at the festival.

Michelle Thompson, head of music as St Egwins said: "Creative arts and music are a core part of the offer at St Egwins and we are delighted to have two of our pupils win both the junior and senior category's."

Headteacher Carol Kennedy added: "We always participate in the Evesham Festival of Music both in the choir event and hold our own music festival too. We are proud of our students and their achievement in this field."

Both Kiaragh and Mollie will participate in the 2018 Music Worcester Young Artist Competition in their respective sections next year and went through a three stage audition process to reach the finals.
