The five regional winners are: Withernsea Junior School in Kingston upon Hull, Coppice Primary School in Derby, Cwm Glas Primary School in Swansea, Rowdown Primary School in Croydon and Crowhurst CofE Primary School in Hastings. Each receives £1,000 worth of Yamaha instruments.
The copmetition was open to all schools that took part in our MusicQuest project earlier this year, and invited their pupils to compose a short piece of classical music in response to a piece of music they heardas part of the project. The winning entry was a response to the Shrovetide Fair by Stravinsky.
Children & the Arts would like to congratulate all the winners and thank everyone who took part.
