The Eurovision Young Musicians 2022 was the 20th edition of the Eurovision Young Musicians. It took place at the Corum in Montpellier, France on 23 July 2022. The live show was hosted by French playwright Judith Chaine and Belgian radio presenter Vincent Delbushaye, with the Montpellier Occitanie National Opera Orchestra conducted by Pierre Dumoussaud. Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), this edition was co-hosted by French broadcasters Radio France and France Télévisions, as part of a summer series of music events called Festival Radio France Occitanie Montpellier.
Musicians representing nine countries with EBU membership participated in the contest, with Austria and host country France returning. Eleven countries, namely Albania, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Malta, Russia, San Marino, Slovenia, Spain and the United Kingdom, decided to not participate in this edition after having taken part in the previous contest in 2018. Although initially not included on the list of participants, it was later revealed that Croatia would still take part. The winner was the Czech Republic, represented by musician Daniel Matejča, marking the country's first win in the competition and at any Eurovision event since Eurovision Young Dancers 2003.
2020 contest
[edit]A 2020 contest was initially planned to take place in Zagreb, Croatia on 21 June 2020 to coincide with World Music Day,[1] however, in March 2020 it was postponed indefinitely as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] The future of the contest remained uncertain until 3 February 2022 when the Norwegian broadcaster NRK and later the Belgian broadcaster RTBF confirmed that there would be a 2022 edition.[3][4]
Broadcasters that confirmed their presence at the 2020 contest until its postponement were: Croatia (HRT), Czechia (ČT), Estonia (ERR), Germany (WDR), Greece (ERT), Malta (PBS), Norway (NRK), Poland (TVP), Slovenia (RTVSLO), Sweden (SVT) and Ukraine (UA:PBC).[2] Among them, Estonia, Greece, Malta, Slovenia and Ukraine did not make an appearance at the 2022 contest.[5]
Croatia and Sweden had already selected their entrants for the 2020 contest prior to postponement; Croatia selected Ivan Petrović-Poljak, who would be reselected to represent the country at the 2022 contest,[6] whilst Sweden selected Tekla Nilsson,[7] who would not compete in 2022. Slovenia selected its representative after the contest was postponed, having selected Sebastijan Buda,[8] but Slovenia did not compete at the 2022 edition.
Location
[edit]The event took place in Montpellier during the annual summer festival, Festival Radio France Occitanie Montpellier,[3][4] and this was the first time that France had hosted the contest. The selected venue was the Corum, a building that houses both a conference centre and an opera house (Opéra Berlioz), and is located in the centre of the city in southern France. The last time that France hosted a Eurovision event was the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2021 in Paris.
Format
[edit]Presenters
[edit]On 28 March 2022, the Culturebox channel announced on social networks that the playwright Judith Chaine would be the presenter of the twentieth edition of the competition.

On 26 June 2022, it was announced that Vincent Delbushaye would join as co-host of the competition. Belgian-born Delbushaye is a radio presenter for Musiq'3, the classical radio station of French-language broadcaster RTBF.[9]

Participants and results
[edit]For a country to be eligible for potential participation in the Eurovision Young Musicians, it must be an active member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).[11] Nine countries participated in the competition, the lowest number since 1984.[12] Of the participants, Austria and France returned after being absent the previous edition, while 11 nations that had participated in the last edition did not return this year. Non-returning countries included Albania, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Malta, Russia, San Marino, Slovenia, Spain and United Kingdom.[12] The winner of the event was the Czech Republic with Daniel Matejča's violin performance of the 3rd and 4th mvt from Violin Concerto No. 1 by D.
