Winning musician

The Eurovision Young Musicians 1984 was the 2nd edition of the Eurovision Young Musicians, held on 22 May 1984 at the Victoria Hall in Geneva, Switzerland, and presented by Georges Kleinmann. It was organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Télévision suisse romande (TSR) on behalf of the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SRG SSR). The Roman Swiss Orchestra, conducted by Horst Stein accompanied all competing performers.

Seven musicians representing ten countries participated in the contest. Musicians could not be older than 19 years of age. The Netherlands made its début. Finland, which also appeared on stage for the first time, as the previous year it was represented by Norway, jointly represented Denmark, Norway, Finland, and Sweden.[a]

The winner was violinist Isabelle van Keulen representing the Netherlands, with pianist Olli Mustonen representing Finland[a] placing second, and clarinetist Emma Johnson representing the United Kingdom placing third.[1]

Location

Victoria Hall, Geneva. Venue of the Eurovision Young Musicians 1984.

The Victoria Hall in Geneva, Switzerland, was the host venue for the 1984 edition of the Eurovision Young Musicians.[2]

The concert hall located in downtown Geneva was built between 1891 and 1894 by the architect John Camoletti and financed by the consul of England, Daniel Fitzgerald Packenham Barton, who dedicated it to Queen Victoria and gave it to the city of Geneva. Currently, the Victoria Hall is mostly used for classical music performances.[3]

Format

Georges Kleinmann was the host of the 1984 contest.[2] Each participating country were able to send male or female artists who were no older than 19 years of age, to represent them by playing a classical piece of their choice.[2] They were all accompanied by the Roman Swiss Orchestra, which was conducted by Horst Stein.[2] The winner received a cash prize of £1,000.[2]
