Concerto-Aria Competition 2023

Near the end of each academic year, students across the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music are invited to compete for the opportunity to perform as a soloist with the University of Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, the University of Melbourne Wind Symphony, or one of the other Conservatorium ensembles.

In 2023, the final round will be on 29 and 30 November in Hanson Dyer Hall. This event is kindly supported by the Harold Fabrikant Trust and the Australian Decorative and Fine Arts Society Yarra, who have generously provided a grant to cover accompaniment expenses for all finalists. Apart from the winner(s) of the concerto performance opportunity, additional recording prizes may be awarded at the discretion of the Adjudication Panel, which includes internationally renowned pianist Caroline Almonte, and Head of Orchestral Studies Associate Professor Richard Davis.

Thank you for your interest in our competition, and above all, in the commitment and brilliance of our students.
