Can Britain's entrant 14-year-old pianist Frederick Kempf, who carried off the BBC Young Musician award earlier in the year, walk away with this coveted Eurovision trophy? The competition is in two stages. First the winners from contests held in 17 countries
(their instruments range from harp to harmonica) give a chamber recital. Then eight finalists are selected to perform a concerto excerpt, accompanied by the Belgian National
Orchestra, conductor Ronald Zollman. Introduced by Humphrey Burton from the Royal Circus, a 19th-century circus building in Brussels.
