HMCollective presents 'Pascoe Awards Finalists' Concert'

Don't miss this outstanding showcase, featuring a selection of exceptional young classical musicians from the Southern Highlands and surrounding regions, as they perform as soloists at the stunning Bowral Memorial Hall.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

On the night, three judges will choose one of the performing finalists to be named as the recipient of the 2026 Eva Pascoe Award, kindly sponsored by Arts National Bowral District.

While the judges are deliberating, our outstanding 2025 Eva Pascoe Award winner, flautist Annabel Wouters, will take to the stage and share her remarkable talent with you.

The judges will then return and announce next year’s Eva Pascoe Award winner. This Award includes a $ 3,000 stipend, along with mentorship from the Highlands Music Collective, and invitations to perform chamber music in their 2026 Concert Series.

The other Finalists will each receive a Timothy Pascoe Encouragement Award, worth $200, for their passion and wonderful dedication to classical music. 

We invite you to support and encourage these musical stars by being in the audience and cheering them on!
