Unfortunately, Covid has struck again. The difficult decision has been made by the NPACS committee to cancel our 2022 Easter competition. The risk of spreading the Omicron variant is just too great. our committee have worked tirelessly to plan this annual event over the past months, and we know that our competition community will be as disappointed as we are about this news.

Le's hope we can have our Easter Comps in 2023!

​

The instrumental competitions are held for pianists, string players, baroque instrumentalists and orchestral instrumentalists and are a great opportunity for students and musicians to play and get feedback from our valuable adjudicators.
