The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Aberdeen musician and composer, Jenna Stewart, on winning the BBC Young Composer of the Year Award 2021; understands that the annual competition, run by BBC Radio 3 and the BBC Concert Orchestra, invites 12- to 18-year-old students to submit their own original music compositions; notes that Jenna’s winning piece for two sopranos and her own spoken voice, called Lost Times, explores the theme of the changing landscape in the Scottish Highlands; recognises that winning the competition in her category, along with one other student, will enable Jenna to work with a mentor composer on a project with the BBC’s Concert Orchestra, culminating in a performance or broadcast; congratulates the 529 entrants and aspiring composers involved with the competition, and wishes Jenna every success as she pursues music at university after taking a gap year.
