The Pendine Young Musician of Wales competition is being launched at the North Wales International Music Festival at St Asaph Cathedral.

Performances during the final will be broadcast on BBC Radio Cymru and the winner will receive £2,000 and the Pendine Trophy, as well as being invited back to perform at next year’s festival.
