  (recorded in the Aurora Centre, Christchurch by RNZ)

  In Young New Zealand this afternoon we hear from the finalists of the 2014 National Concerto Competition: clarinettist, Nathaniel Smorti,   violinist Arna Morton and cellist Matthias Balzat. The National Concerto Competition is held in each year in Christchurch for under 25s and alternates between piano and orchestral instruments. Last year 54 players competed. The finalists competed for a significant $7000 First Prize, but all three finalists had the invaluable experience of playing with an orchestra.                                                                          

  The judges for the 2014 National Concerto Competition were violinist Curt Thompson from the University of Melbourne and Principal cellist of the NZSO Andrew Joyce. They couldn’t decide between first and second places for the two remaining finalists, so gave two first prizes – to Matthias Balzat and our second performer this afternoon Arna Morton from Christchurch. Arna is a budding concertmaster who has led several of the country’s youth orchestras including the New Zealand School of Music Youth Orchestra and the National Youth Orchestra. In this afternoon’s concert she plays Szymanowski’s Violin Concerto No 1.
