The Rotary Club of Belconnen's Community Grant program has provided $1,500 to ArtSound in prizes for their 2024 ACT Young Virtuoso Awards.
The Awards were open to instrumentalists aged 25 or under and vocalists aged 30 or under.
Four finalists performed, and ArtSound broadcast the sessions live during the weekly, Sunday afternoon Sounds Classical program.
Judges Sally Greenaway and Marián Budoš selected as winner Zachary Li, a pianist who was the finalist in the 2023 competition. He performed pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach, Frédéric Chopin, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Felix Mendelssohn. Runner up this year was pianist Jacob Wu.
The Rotary Club of Belconnen is proud to support local community organisations through our grants.
Congratulations to all the participants and winners. Find out more at the ArtSound website.
