Student success at the Davison Young Musicians Award
Congratulations to Maria del Mar Umbert Kimura (Somerville College, 2020) and George Lawson (New College, 2022) who shared the honours at the Davison Young Musicians Award 2024. The DYMF adjudicating panel made the rare decision to award two Recital Prizes, as the standard of auditionees was extremely high.
The first place Recital Award went to Maria del Mar Umbert Kimura, who has recently completed an MSt in Music Performance. Violinist George Lawson, a final year Music student, was awarded the second place. As well as receiving a monetary award, the two finalists will perform in a recital taking place at The New Space on Wednesday 20 November 2024 at 7.30 pm. Entry is free and tickets can be reserved at https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/thenewspace/t-xmljmxg
The Davison Young Musicians Award was established in March 2021 by Tom and Peter Davison, to provide opportunity for aspiring young musicians to showcase their talent and win an award to assist them with their studies in music. For the second time, New College has collaborated with the Davison Young Musician Foundation (DYMF) to provide Recital Awards to students studying at the University of Oxford. Students were invited to audition by the Faculty of Music in collaboration with New College.
