VENUE PARTNER ANNOUNCED

We’re delighted to announce that Scotch College Melbourne will be our Venue Partner for the week of preliminary rounds and Semi-Finals. The purpose-built, acoustically superb 500-seat concert hall, Ian Roach Hall, in the James Forbes Academy for Music and Drama will be a stunning venue for both competitors and audience.

Competitors will find the acoustic helps them deliver their best performance and the audience will enjoy magnificent sound from comfortable seats raked up from the stage so that everyone has great sightlines.

The Piano Trios will have a choice of two excellent concert grands, Steinway and Kawai. The groups will also have rehearsal rooms in the James Forbes Academy.

The international jury and VIP package-buyers will have comfortable dedicated rooms for relaxing, discussing the performances and enjoying catering between concerts.

For general audience members, refreshments will be available in the spacious foyer and just a short tram ride away is the Glenferrie Rd shopping strip with many dining options.

The campus at 1 Morrison St, Hawthorn 3022 is easily accessible by public transport and has ample parking.
