The Taunton Junior Young Singer of the Year competition has been created following the success of Taunton Junior Young Musician in 2014/15 and the ever-growing interest in the Taunton Young Singer competitions.
This competition for young singers has been set up by the festival in response to the ever-growing number of entries in the Music Festival. It was also felt that singers should have their own competition and not be judged alongside their instrumental contemporaries as in past Taunton Young Musicians competitions.
Competitors are invited to perform a programme from different periods and genres, up to a maximum of twelve minutes. Movement will be permitted, if appropriate, but not costumes or props.
