National Youth Concerto Competition
The National Youth Concerto Competition (NYCC) was established in 1976 by QYO founder John Curro AM MBE. Open to string players (violin, viola, cello and bass) in Australia under the age of 17, the NYCC gives young string players "an opportunity to extend themselves beyond the normal AMEB and eisteddfod experiences". Initial applicants submit CD recordings of four pieces. The three finalists are selected to play at a Finals Concert each October, from which an overall winner is chosen.
