We are delighted that AUSTA is once again supporting encouragement awards for all four bowed string instruments: violin, viola, cello and double bass.
We are very grateful for their long standing support of the Recital & Concerto Competition, and their encouragement of string players participating.

The AUSTA String Festival takes place prior to the Recital & Concerto Competition, and we encourage all string players to check it out!
Bookings will open mid April for this big annual event, which supports all level of students. Perform in a non-competitive environment, listen to other players, and receive feedback from top professional teachers and players.
The 2025 AUSTA WA String Festival will take place on 15th June 2025 at WAAPA.
