The Awards encourage individual performers to show their style and versatility in a spirit of friendly competition. We seek to encourage musical and performance excellence in classical music, opera, jazz, music theatre, world music, folk and cabaret.
The performance experience can assist young musicians to develop into confident, creative artists. Emphasis is placed on the entrant’s ability to communicate with the audience, on a sound technical base.
Approximately 12 Finalists will be selected at the Auditions to perform in the Finals Concert. Prizes will be awarded to encourage music learning and performance opportunities.
