From 34 entries in the auditions, 12 finalists were selected by the award's adjudicator to perform for an audience of more than 150 appreciative supporters at St Bernard's Church, Batehaven.
"The standard of music performed at the concert by the young musicians was certainly as high as ever " St Cecilia committee president Chris Heazlewood said.
"And we are very appreciative of the generous donations by Moruya CWA, Batemans Bay Rotary, Eurobodalla Shire Council, South Coast Music Society, PerFex and generous individual donors which allows such a worthwhile organisation to help such wonderful young musicians."
