The AYO Soloist Competition is one of our favourite traditions—an exciting chance for our own orchestra members to shine as soloists, with over $5,600 in prizes up for grabs. The winner receives $2,000, plus there are awards for outstanding performances, a gem piece, best under-18 performer, and more.
AYO has a proud history of launching young stars—you might know a few names like Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, John Chen, Amitai Pati, and Thomas Hutchinson, all of whom performed with AYO early in their careers.
🎶 Come be part of the excitement, cheer on the finalists, and enjoy an inspiring afternoon of music. Who will win your heart—and the prize?
