It is great to be back in Bromsgrove for the 2025 International Musicians Competition. As in past years, we have a strong entry selected from the first video round with more than 20 fine performers playing for a place in the semifinal from 10.00am on Friday 30 May in Routh Concert Hall at Bromsgrove School. The Final will take place in the same venue on Saturday 31 May at 7.30pm.

Note, too, that the Final of the Bromsgrove Young Musicians Platform will take place from 2.00pm to 5.00pm of Saturday (31 May) in the Routh Concert Hall. This event if for talented young instrumentalists and singers between the ages of 9 and 17, divided into two sections: junior fro 9 to 13 and senior from 14 to 17.

All three events are open to the public. We hope you will come and support these wonderful musicians.

I am delighted to be working with fellow jurors, Sarah Bruce and Christopher Glynn, and also with David Saint, Chair of the BIMC, and Beverley Needham, Administrator. This is a most enjoyable week spent hearing and supporting really talented young performers in the beautiful environment of Bromsgrove School.
