Young violinist Callum Smart attracted attention when, at the age of just thirteen, he won the strings category of the 2010 ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Young Musicians Competition. Since then he has toured as a soloist and chamber musician all whilst still at school. He joins the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ National Orchestra of Wales to perform Mozart's Concerto no. 5 in A major, K.219. One of the first ever Radio 3 New Generation Artists back in 1999, cellist Alban Gerhardt is no stranger to being a precociously talented young string player himself.
