The Eurovision Young Musicians 2014 was the seventeenth edition of the Eurovision Young Musicians, held outside the Cologne Cathedral in Cologne, Germany, on 31 May 2014.[1] Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR), musicians from fourteen countries participated in the televised final. This was the fifth time that the competition was held on an open-air stage. Germany previously hosted the contest in 2002.[1]

All participants performed a classical piece of their choice accompanied by the WDR Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Kristiina Poska.[1] This year, 14 countries participated in the contest. Malta and Moldova made their debut at the Eurovision Young Musicians.[2] Armenia, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia and Ukraine decided not to participate in this year's competition. Hungary returned for the first time since 2000. Sweden last took part in 2010, whilst Portugal had not entered since 1998.

Ziyu He of Austria won the contest, with Slovenia and Hungary placing second and third respectively.[3] In 2014, Austria also won the Eurovision Song Contest.[4]

Location

[edit]
Further information on the host city: Cologne
The contest was held on an open-air stage outside Cologne Cathedral, Cologne.

Roncalliplatz, a square outside the Cologne Cathedral, was the host location for the 2014 edition of the Eurovision Young Musicians.[1] The preliminary round was held at the Kleiner Sendesaal in WDR's Funkhaus Wallrafplatz [de].[5]

Format

[edit]

Sabine Heinrich was the host of the 2014 contest.[1] Flying Steps performed as the interval act.[6]

The semi final stage of the contest was dropped this year, however a new preliminary round was held over two days on 26–27 May and was streamed live on youngmusicians.tv. Each musician was required to play for up to fifteen minutes in this round and a maximum of five minutes in the Grand Final on 31 May. The international jury scored each musician and performance during the preliminary round. The scores were added to those given in the Grand Final to decide the three prize winners.[7][8]

The candidates were accompanied by the WDR Symphony Orchestra,[9] under the leadership of Estonian conductor Kristiina Poska.[10] The winner received a prize of 10,000 euros and was given the opportunity to appear with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in 2015. The participants in second and third place were awarded 7,000 and 3,000 euros respectively.[11][6]

Participating countries

[edit]

All participating countries automatically qualified for the final on 31 May 2014. The semi final elimination stage was replaced by a two-day preliminary round, that was held on 26 and 27 May respectively at the Kleiner Sendesaal in WDR's Funkhaus Wallrafplatz. The professional jury awarded points in this round.[5]
