“It’s an absolutely incredible lineup,” RCM director Hamish Tait said.

“There’s some really, really big highlights.”

Yesterday’s launch marked the start of the year’s concert series, which will include performances from local musicians and international artists.

Mr Tait said one performance has never been seen in regional NSW before.

Riverina resident Tony Bozicevic will perform all of Franz Litszt’s etudes on piano.

“For piano players out there, it’s like having ABBA or Queen perform their repertoires,” Mr Tait said.

Mr Tait said the program is beneficial to RCM students as they can see where their talents can take them.

“It’s a good cross-section of instruments that students are learning,” he said.
