The Australian Concerto & Vocal Competition offers a unique opportunity for emerging musicians to be stimulated and extended. Held annually in Townsville it attracts musicians from around the world to perform works from concerto and opera repertoire in sections for vocal, instrumental, and school ensembles.

Its prestige as a national event is now well established with many of our Open instrumentalists being finalists and winners of the ABC Symphony Australia Young Performers Awards.

The Competition adjudicators are recognised both nationally and internationally for their expertise and interest in encouraging musical development.

At a recent meeting of the ACVC Management Committee, it was decided to not offer the competition in 2025.

This decision has come about because of increasing financial and functional issues with the running of the competition that have been of increasing concern for quite some time. The committee will now investigate how to proceed in the future.

With best wishes to all for a happy and productive 2025.
