In Conversation: The Gold Medal 2014

Published: May 6, 2014, 10:34 a.m.

Ahead of The Gold Medal, the Guildhall School’s most prestigious prize, we talk to our three talented finalists about how they are preparing for the big day. Clarinettist Max Mausen, cellist Michael Petrov and violinist Rose Hsien will each be playing a concerto with the Guildhall Symphony Orchestra, in front of a prestigious jury panel including renowned violinist and previous Gold Medal winner Tasmin Little and Ivan Hewett, Chief Music Critic at The Daily Telegraph. We find out how our finalists were selected, how they cope with nerves and just how much it would mean to them to find themselves on The Gold Medal board in the Silk Street foyer. The Gold Medal is on 12 May in Barbican Hall. Get tickets here: https://www.barbican.org.uk/music/event-detail.asp?ID=15752
