Beautiful music all weekend. What an event!

Thank you to our wonderful adjudicator, Glenn Riddle. To all the parents, teachers, and friends who in some way helped all these competitors this week, a gigantic thank you to you also. This competition was a labour of love, and we are glad to have seen it come to this point. Thank you to Australian Piano Warehouse for their beautiful space and gorgeous Yamaha!
