Michael Hill International Violin Competition
Info
Join us for the Semi-Finals of the Michael Hill International Violin Competition!
The Michael Hill International Violin Competition returns to Auckland this June, bringing the semi-finals to the Auckland Concert Chamber for two nights of intense chamber music.
On 3–4 June, the field narrows to just six semi-finalists. In what is widely considered the competition’s most difficult test, these young virtuosos must demonstrate their leadership and ensemble skills by performing dramatic piano quintets alongside NZTrio.
