I am delighted that local, interstate andinternational competitors, with supporters and spectators, will gather inMelbourne for the 2019 International Youth Music Competition and its GalaConcert.
Now in its fifth year, this competition offers awonderful opportunity for young musicians to build performance experience,participate in masterclasses and get to know other talented musicians fromacross Asia and Oceania.
Melbourne is veryproud to host this competition. It plays an important role in nurturing youngmusicians across our region. But it also provides an opportunity for thecommunity to hear some of the worldís best emerging musicians.
