Bronwyn Brown will be available to accompany Festival students who are playing on Sunday 3rd June. She will only be available for rehearsals in the week before the Festival, from 27th May.

Entrants must provide their own accompanist for the two Competitive Concerto sections 501 and 502, at their own cost.
This year we have secured for the competitive sections the services of an eminent violinist from Orange and experienced strings adjudicator, Doreen Cumming. Doreen is the principal 2nd violin in the Canberra Symphony Orchestra.
The smooth running of the festival depends on the efforts of a small number of AUSTA ACT volunteers. If you are able to assist in any way, please contact canberrastringfest@gmail.com
