Classical Star semi-finalist lands top youth award

Rix beat five other finalists with a recital including works by Bach and the first movement of Spanish composer Pedro Itturalde's Pequena Czarda. His prize features a cash award and the chance to perform with a top Junior Guildhall ensemble.

The youngster - who signed a recording contract with Universal earlier this year - was also the recipient of the sax.co.uk scholarship for 2007-08. He has attended Junior Guildhall - a special Saturday school in music and drama - for five years and hopes to continue at the institution after completing his A-levels at Dame Alice Owen's School in Hertfordshire.
