The Eurovision Young Musicians 1984 was the second edition of the Eurovision Young Musicians, held at the Victoria Hall in Geneva, Switzerland, on 22 May 1984.[1] Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SRG SSR), musicians who could be no older than 19 years of age, from seven countries participated in the televised final hosted by Georges Kleinmann. They were all accompanied by the Roman Swiss Orchestra, conducted by Horst Stein.[1] Finland and the Netherlands made their début, while Norway withdrew from competition.[1][2]
The Netherlands's Isabelle van Keulen won the contest, with Finland and the United Kingdom placing second and third respectively.[2]
Location
[edit | edit source]The Victoria Hall in Geneva, Switzerland, was the host venue for the 1984 edition of the Eurovision Young Musicians.[1]
The concert hall located in downtown Geneva was built between 1891 and 1894 by the architect John Camoletti and financed by the consul of England, Daniel Fitzgerald Packenham Barton, who dedicated it to Queen Victoria and gave it to the city of Geneva. Currently, the Victoria Hall is mostly used for classical music performances.[3]
Format
[edit | edit source]Georges Kleinmann was the host of the 1984 contest.[1] Each participating country were able to send male or female artists who were no older than 19 years of age, to represent them by playing a classical piece of their choice.[1] They were all accompanied by the Roman Swiss Orchestra, which was conducted by Horst Stein.[1] The winner received a cash prize of £1,000.[1]
