An annual competition held at the College, the Soloist Competition comprises two sections; Senior (Year 11-13) and Junior (Year 9-10) with two prizes in each section.
The finalists performed for an external judge and this year we were privileged to have Sarah Watkins, a very well-regarded and successful pianist who performs as part of the NZTrio, touring internationally with them, and is also one of the official pianists for the Michael Hill International Violin Competition.
The following students were awarded prizes:
