If using the official accompanist, competitors must contact him/her at least 4-5 days before the event. The official accompanist may refuse to play if this is not done.

A piano is provided, but other instruments may accompany items if required.

  • No sound system is provided for senior classical solo events Solos may be performed with live accompaniment (own accompanist or official accompanist) but NOT audio backing.

  • AUDIO ACCOMPANIMENT FOR JUNIOR SOLOS. For junior classical and folk solo events live accompaniment is strongly recommended but a competitor who is 12 or under may upload an audio file - see COMPETITOR MATERIALS UPLOAD INFORMATION 

    NOTE: NO MICROPHONE may be used so balance needs to be checked prior to the event starting.     

Dress Attire: Costumes are NOT appropriate in Vocal Solos – unless specified, e.g. Character Song Sections. Appropriate Evening Dress is requested for finalists in the Vocal Scholarship sections.
