John Cabot Academy student competes Rotary Young Musician Competition

John Cabot Academy is celebrating the outstanding achievement of Year 10 student, Jonathan Cheung, who delivered a stunning performance in the prestigious Rotary Young Musician Greater Bristol Competition.

Jonathan wowed the audience and judges with his rendition of Partita No.3 in E Major (Gavotte en Rondeau) and Partita No.2 in D minor (Allemanda) on the violin, securing third place overall in a fiercely-competitive field.

The competition’s head judge commended Jonathan’s dedication and talent, stating: “We were delighted to have Jonathan among our contestants this year. It seems he had thought of reducing his programme, but in the end gave a very accomplished performance.

“Congratulations to the school for nurturing him and his talent.”

Charlotte Grierson, Team Leader of Performing Arts at John Cabot Academy, said: “Jonathan performed with poise and brilliant musicianship, and we are incredibly proud of his achievements to reach the final among students from a variety of schools and sixth form settings across Greater Bristol.

“We look forward to Jonathan competing in the esteemed Rotary Young Musician Competition again next year.”
