Performer of the Year – Concerto Final 2026
30 August | Performer of the Year – Concerto Final 2026
Dron Auditorium, St Peters Performing Arts Centre
The St Peters Performer of the Year competition has become an annual event of increasing cultural and educational significance since 2005.
The Concerto Final provides a professional concert experience where students perform, from memory, some of the most challenging and virtuosic concerto repertoire. The sense of occasion tests their preparation and resolve while providing an exhilarating and rewarding experience. Soloists must project their sound over a 70-piece orchestra, which demands study and knowledge of the full score.
2026 Concerto Finalists:
- Nathan N – Dvorak Cello Concerto 1st Mvt
- Emily R – Chopin Piano Concerto No. 1 1st Mvt
- Nicholas S – Tchaikovsky Rococo Variations Op. 33
- Mandi S – Saint-Saëns Piano Concerto No.2 3rd Mvt
- Samuel W – Grieg Piano Concerto Op. 18 3rd Mvt
Tickets are just $5.00, and proceeds from the concert will be donated to a charity nominated by the Concerto winner.
Join us and be inspired by the next generation of exceptional musicians.
