The category finals will take place from March 3-7, 2014 in the Dora Stoutzker Hall, Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, Cardiff.
The semi-final follows on March 9, before the BBC Young Musician Final--on May 18 at Usher Hall in Edinburgh.
This year's BBC Young Musician will be broadcast extensively on, you guessed it, BBC 4 and BBC Radio 3.
For the first time, the BBC Young Musician's board will confer a new gong: the Jazz Award.
Running alongside the established classical music format, the first ever BBC Young Musician Jazz Award will comprise two audition stages followed by a final that will take place on March 8, 2014 at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.
