YOUNG musician Rylan Holey has been offered a Choral Award by Corpus Christi College at Cambridge University.
Rylan, a student at Bootham School, York, is hoping to win a place on a music degree course at the college. He said he was delighted to win the award, and hopes to study ethno musicology.
His interest in world music saw him performing at the Albert Hall earlier this year as part of a group singing Bahajans and Qawali, Asian spiritual songs.
He also took part in a concert near Genoa, in Italy this summer, playing the cello to an audience of 1,500.
Robin Peach, who is Rylan's tutor at Bootham, said: "This award is well deserved for Rylan and another feather in the cap for the music department.
"Now we keep our fingers crossed for the college's academic interview in December."
