A YORK clarinet player hit a high note after beating off competition from more than 600 musicians.
Anthony Law from Bootham School, was named overall festival winner at the Janet Beaumont Music Festival in Huddersfield.
Anthony won the higher education recital class and went on to be named as top performer out 600 entrants at the three-day festival.
He brought back two trophies and a cheque for £250.
The director of music at Bootham, Paul Feehan, said: "He was up against very stiff competition of national standing but I really felt he shone through as the best."
Anthony is taking his A-levels this summer and hopes to read engineering at Cambridge.
