The Blyth Performing Arts Centre
Enjoy the performances of our talented young classical musicians at Hawke's Bay Young Musician of the Year 2026!
This YMY Preliminary concert is the first step in our annual competition and is an affordable option for audiences to enjoy a daytime concert by young pianists, instrumentalists and singers.
Each performer performs a varied 12- 20 minute programme of their choice of music - so it ranges from classical to contemporary, often including Asian, American and New Zealand compositions. Check the programme online to decide if you want to hear a particular artist, or stay for the whole day. STUDENTS under 18 - you get in FREE!
Six finalists will be selected to play in the Final concert on Friday 18 September - tickets also available on Eventfinda.
Note: the audience can enter or leave at any time between programmes - check the website for the programme.
