Junior and Senior Piano Competitions – Tomorrow 

Tomorrow, experience an amazing night of pianistic music with the Junior and Senior Piano Competitions! Doors open at 4pm for Junior and 6:00pm for Senior.

The night will be adjudicated by guest adjudicator, Daniel Rojas. Daniel Rojas is a South American born Australian concert pianist and composer who specialises in the rich and vibrant Latin American musical aesthetic. Rojas brings together music from diverse indigenous, folk and popular Latin American traditions and rearranges them for the concert stage. Seminal classical works by Latin American composers also play a significant part of his repertoire. He performs his own compositions, which include solo piano works and two piano concertos, and blends this with his sophisticated abilities to improvise live on stage.

See you tomorrow night for a wonderful night of pianistic excellence!
