Jess Gillam presents the second of two quarter-finals. Who will impress judges Alison Balsom, Alexis Ffrench and Hannah Catherine Jones to secure their place in the semi-final?

Six more talented musicians compete in the second quarter-final of this year’s Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Young Musician, and the pressure is on, with only one of them guaranteed a place in the semi-final. The others will have a tense wait to find out if they have done enough to be among the judges' four wildcard picks from across the two quarter-finals.

Star saxophonist and broadcaster Jess Gillam presents the programme, filmed at the Great Hall at Swansea University. A former finalist in this competition herself, Jess is on hand to provide access behind the scenes, give insights into what it takes to compete at this level and chat with the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Young Musician judges.

The judges are award-winning trumpet player Alison Balsom, chart-topping pianist Alexis Ffrench and multi-instrumentalist and conductor Hannah Catherine Jones. With tough choices to make, there’s bound to be some tense discussions. Who will win them over and claim those coveted places in the semi-final, taking them a step closer to the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Young Musician title?
