The final saw an exciting line up of four young ensembles, the Kleio Quartet, Marigold Piano Quartet, the Fibonacci Quartet and Elmore Quartet gave four exceptional performances in the Princess Alexandra Hall, and it was a difficult task for the adjudicators Bryony Gibson-Cornish, Gaby Lester and Caroline Palmer to select the winners of the £10,000 award.
