Christ College Musician Of The Year

The annual Christ College Musician of the Year competition is open to senior students who are working at a high level. The competition is by public concert at which each competitor performs a balanced programme lasting up to ten minutes.

The prancing horse trophy is named in honour of Tom Dargavel, who was Area Director for Lloyds TSB Commercial Service and who initiated the first sponsorship of the Musician of the Year competition in the late 1990s. His early support of the competition has left a legacy that is remembered in the presentation of the trophy to the Young Musician of the Year.
