Ones to Watch: Concerto Competition Finals (Day 2)
March 15, 2025 • 6:00pm
Conservatory Concert Hall
Every year, the Conservatory Concerto Competition brings together YST Year 2 and 3 students to compete for the opportunity to play their chosen concerto with the YST Orchestral Institute, in a celebration of performance excellence and artistry.
Following a series of preliminary rounds within instrumental family groupings, the first and second- placed musicians from each area take the stage over two evenings. They will perform a complete work of their choice with piano accompaniment, assessed by an international panel of adjudicators, including:
Sarah Butler, Former Principal Trumpet, Queensland Symphony, Australia
Zhang Jia, Central Conservatory of Music, China
Daniel de Borah, Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University, Australia
Join us in witnessing this showcase of student talent, and find out who our next Concerto Prizewinners will be!
Supported by the Shaw Foundation Ones to Watch series.
