It’s been two years and now is the time to save your hot seats in the heart of Shepparton for this year’s Australian National Piano Award.

These famous and breathtaking recitals starting Monday 10 September, set the scene to the grand final on Saturday 15 September, and everyone is a winner until the last note is played on the Steinway.
