SA String Showcase

The SA String Showcase, presented by AUSTA SA, is a celebration of string playing in all its forms. Open to all ages and levels, it provides a supportive, non-graded and non-competitive chance to perform. Solos, chamber music (duos, trios, quartets), and accompanied works are all welcome.

To ensure every performance shines, we strongly encourage performers to use an accompanist unless their piece is unaccompanied. An official accompanist will be provided by AUSTA SA.

Session Times

1:30pm Concert: For unaccompanied works, chamber groups, or those with their own accompanist/teacher.

3:00pm Concert: For performers using the AUSTA SA accompanist. If booked, arrive at 1:00pm for a compulsory rehearsal. Parents may drop students at 1:00pm and return at 2:45pm.

At its heart, the Showcase is about confidence, progress, and community in SA’s string world.
