Charlotte Barbour-Condini has become the first recorder player to win the woodwind final of the BBC Young Musician of the Year.
Thanks to the wonderful playing of Charlotte Barbour-Condini, the recorder is in the musical spotlight.
Charlotte, who has attended NYRO events, most recently the Oxford Playing Day in June 2010, won the woodwind category of the BBC Young Musician of the year!
