As the live auditions continue, and the judges face tough decisions about who to put through to the competition鈥檚 quarter-final. Making that choice are world famous concert pianist, educator and curator Joanna MacGregor, conductor and broadcaster Ben Gernon together with guest judge trombonist Peter Moore.

Broadcaster and writer Petroc Trelawny presents from the live auditions filmed earlier this year at Bath Spa University. Featuring the best young classical musicians from across the UK playing a range of instruments, from marimba to bassoon, piano to French horn, cello to clarinet.

Five places will be the representatives from each instrumental family - keyboard, strings, wind, brass and percussion - and three wildcard places are also up for grabs.
