2015 BBC Radio 2 Young Brass Award winner Grant Jameson has been selected as a winner of the Musicians Company Award.

£10,000

The Flowers Band euphonium player began the start of the process alongside nominees from other leading UK conservatoires. It eventually saw the young American go on and claim the overall £10,000 winner's package following an extensive audition at the Guildhall School of Music.

Huge honour

Grant told 4BR: "It's a huge honour to be selected and becoming a Yeoman of the Musicians Company. Being a euphonium player more times than not poses major challenges when competing against string players, pianists and singers, so finding that I had been selected meant even more to me and to the instrument as a whole.

This will certainly be a huge help towards my postgraduate study, along with continuing to develop my career as a soloist."
