The Eurovision Young Musicians 1982 was the first edition of the Eurovision Young Musicians, a biennial event inspired by the success of the BBC Young Musician of the Year.[1][2] The contest took place at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester, United Kingdom on 11 May 1982, and was organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).[3] Musicians from six participating countries took part in début contest, which was televised across the Eurovision Network. Humphrey Burton was the host of the contest and welcomed all of the participants in English, French, and German.[3]
Each of the six participating countries sent either a male or female artist who was no older than 19 years of age, to represent them by playing an instrumental and a musical piece of their choice, and were accompanied by the BBC Northern Symphony Orchestra, under the conductor leadership of Bryden Thomson.[3] The winner received a cash prize of £1,000.[3]
Germany's Markus Pawlik won the contest, with France and Switzerland placing second and third respectively.[4] It was also notable that Germany won the Eurovision Song Contest 1982 just a few weeks earlier - also in England, and also by performing last in the running order.[5]
