4BR Quiz: Cheltenham Quiz

We have a tricky National Finals Quiz to overcome this week…

4BR
 

With the National Finals taking place in Cheltenham on the 24th & 25th September, we thought we would get you in the early mood for the event with this week’s quiz question.

Record books

You will need to delve into the record books on the 4BR site to come up with the right answer, but if you do get it right there is a great prize on offer – two cracking pieces written by composer Phil Lawrence – ‘A Day in the Life of a Knight’ and ‘A Slow Ride in a Static Machine’ thanks to our friends at Prima Vista Musikk.

Question:

Our question is: 'What links the winning conductors of the National First Section champions of 1994, the Second Section of 1992, the Third Section of 1985 and the Fourth Section of 1958 and 1965 — but only the once at a different contest?’.

You have to get all five MDs and the link to win the prize, so look in the 4BR contest archives!!!
