Rose was the finalist for the South Lanarkshire region at the Scottish Young Musicians Solo Performer of the Year National Final at the Royal Conservatoire in Glasgow.

This year there were 33 finalists, one representing every local authority in Scotland and one from the independent schools.  

She won her award for her performances of Song to the Seals by Granville Bantock and Taylor The Latte Boy by Zina Goldrich.

And as well as her award, to support her musical journey, Rose also gets to spend a day with Scottish Opera where she'll meet with the production team and the cast of outstanding singers of their Autumn production La Boheme. And she will also get tickets to one of the performances.

Scottish Young Musicians Solo Performer of the Year is Scotland's leading music festival for soloists and ensembles. Young musicians can compete to win big prizes, perform live on a national stage, and push their skills like never before.

Elaine Duffy, the council’s Instrumental Music Co-ordinator, said: “We are delighted that Rose has been recognised at this most prestigious event.

“It is a real testament to her hard work and dedication over the years, supported by her singing teacher Sandra Hawkins.”

Her performing career to date includes the council’s annual Instrumental Music Service showcase in the Townhouse, Hamilton and soloist at the annual Holocaust Memorial Day commemorations.

Rose has also performed with the South Lanarkshire Orchestral Society (SLOS) Senior Concert Band and has been invited to sing with Stewarton Winds Concert Band.
