The annual St Cecilia Youth Scholarships finalists' concert on November 26 at St Bernards Church, Batehaven, will showcase the outstanding talents of the finest musicians on the South Coast.
Scholarship program president Chris Heazlewood said big things were expected from both performers and fans at the 2017 event.
"Last year the performers earned a standing ovation from the cheering audience and this year should be no different", Mr Heazlewood said.
"The music has been chosen to produce an extremely entertaining concert, including both classical and contemporary music.
"The concert will showcase the outstanding skills of these talented young musicians. Come along and show them your support."
The concert starts at 3.00pm and tickets are available at the door at $10 for adults and free entry for under 18s.
Finalists recently attended a workshop to hone their microphone techniques prior to their performances at the concert.
