NYCC applications open
The John Curro National Youth Concerto Competition (NYCC) is recognised as the most prestigious competition in Australia for string soloists aged up to 17 years. Now in its 45th year, NYCC was established by Queensland Youth Orchestras in 1976 to encourage the development of young Australian string players.
The NYCC lists many musicians of national and international renown among past winners including Jane Peters (1978), Richard Tognetti (1980), Nicholas Milton (1985), Li-Wei Qin (1993) and Ray Chen (2002).
If Covid-19 restrictions extend into September/October, we will consider ways to adapt the competition format.
