The University of Auckland is pleased to present this extremely popular annual event to celebrate the success of its graduates of 2011. The evening marks the culmination of the university’s Graduation Week with a concert featuring three talented classical performers from the School of Music.

Three finalists - Annie Hong, Somi Kim and Tina Kim - will compete for the grand prize. They will each perform a full concerto accompanied by The University of Auckland Symphony Orchestra, conducted by internationally acclaimed musician, Associate Professor Uwe Grodd. A special feature of this year’s concert is an intermission performance of choral works by The University of Auckland’s massed choir.

Concerto programme:

- Carl Nielsen: Flute Concerto (soloist - Annie Hong, flute)
- Serge Rachmaninoff: Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini (soloist - Somi Kim, piano)
- Sergey Prokofiev: Piano Concerto No. 3 in C (soloist - Tina [Inah] Kim, piano)
