The Final, 2023
The three competitors who've triumphed at every stage of this year's contest face Paul Gambaccini's questions in the final of the wide-ranging music quiz.
(13/13)
The 2023 season of the ultimate music quiz reaches its climax, as Paul Gambaccini welcomes back the three most formidable music brains of the year. The winner will take home the silver Counterpoint trophy and be named the 36th 麻豆社 Counterpoint champion.

Questions on Pink Floyd, Chopin, Bernstein and Beyonce are just appetite whetters... the contenders will also have to pick a special musical topic in which to answer more in-depth questions, with no advance warning of the categories on offer. As always there are plenty of musical extracts to identify, representing all musical genres and eras.
The Finalists are:
Anthony Fish from Pontypool
Kathryn Johnson from Northwood in Middlesex
Sally Wilson from Sale in Greater Manchester
Assistant Producer: Stephen Garner
Producer: Paul Bajoria
