There’s a lot of talk out there about being ‘the best of the best’ – the Australian National Piano Award can truly declare that they do indeed attract the ‘best of the best’ young classical pianists in this country. The finalists are red hot, they are under 30 years of age and they are competing for high stakes and substantial prize money and kudos. It is a pleasure to work with these genius musicians for the full week, performing on stage day and night in order to win this coveted piano competition.
