Chamber Music Contest - Thursday, June 8 6.30pm - Repertory Invercargill
This contest provides a brilliant opportunity to hear Southland’s top young classical musicians performing a wide range of works as they compete to reach the regional finals.
Presented annually by Chamber Music New Zealand, it is the only nationwide chamber music competition for young secondary school musicians and composers in the country.
The purpose of the Contest is to encourage young musicians regardless of standard or experience, to perform together and strive towards excellence. It also aims to provide an opportunity for musical activities within schools to have a link with the wider community at both a local and national level.
Twelve groups including string trios, brass ensembles, percussion groups, and woodwind quartets and septets will be performing at the district contest for 2023. This wide range of groups creates an interesting and exciting evening of chamber music.
Since its inception in 1965, the annual NZCT Chamber Music Contest has provided a platform for thousands of New Zealand secondary school students to perform. For many young musicians this is their first experience of chamber ensemble performance.
