Łukasz Dyczko Wins Eurovision Young Musicians 2016
02.09.16 - Cologne, Germany – A new classical music star is born, as Poland's Łukasz Dyczko has been named the winner of the 18th prestigious Eurovision Young Musicians competition, 2016. The biennial competition, organised by the same team behind The Eurovision Song Contest, the EBU, was hosted by broadcasters WDR at Cologne's Roncalliplatz against the dramatic backdrop of the city’s Cathedral.
Łukasz was chosen by a panel of five judges, including previous winner and world class violinist Julian Rachlin, for his note-perfect performance of 'Rhapsody pour Saxophone alto' on the Saxophone. He was born in Gorlice, and started playing the Saxophone at the age of 10. Robert Bílý of the Czech Republic secured second place, closely followed by Dominik Wagner of Austria, rounding off a thrilling show of outstanding performances.
The Grand Final of Eurovision Young Musicians was hosted by Daniel Hope and Tamina Kallert, watched by over 2,000 people at the Roncalliplatz and broadcast live on WDR in Germany and in 9 other countries to a potential audience of over a million viewers.
For winning the contest, Łukasz received a prize of 10,000 Euros, as well as the chance to perform alongside the WDR Symphony Orchestra. Second and Third place contestants received 7,000 and 3,000 Euros respectively.
After Łukasz performed his consummate rendition of the piece written by André Waignein, he said "I don't have a plan now I've won, it was such a surprise. Being in Cologne was a great experience, it was incredible to me and I've made many friends. Thank you all the people who have supported me."
Łukasz was one of 11 participants in the live final, each performing a classical piece of up to six and a half minutes in length. The professional jury made comments after each performance on the night, and once all had performed they awarded points to each participant. The total score was then tallied, and the top three places were revealed.
Also on the judging panel for this year’s competition were pianist Alice Sara Ott, tuba player Andreas Martin Hofmeir, cellist and conductor Jonathan Cohen and trumpet soloist Tine Thing Helseth. The orchestra were conducted by Clemens Schuldt.
Jon Ola Sand, the EBU's Head of Live Events, said about the competition "the Eurovision Young Musicians competition is an excellent platform for public service broadcasters to encourage young talent in classical music, and give the participants an opportunity to be seen on an international stage. Previous winners have enjoyed great success in the classical world and we wish the same for Łukasz"
This is the 18th Eurovision Young Musicians competition, which began in 1982 and is held every two years. This is the second consecutive contest which has been hosted in Cologne.
