11/1/2025 | The Orpheus Music Virtual Recorder Competition 2025 is an exciting international opportunity for recorder players of all ages and levels to showcase their talent while celebrating Australian music. Designed to promote the works of Australian composers, this virtual event invites both soloists and ensembles to submit a self-recorded video performance of a complete piece or movement for recorder. There are two entry categories:
Creativity is strongly encouraged—participants may incorporate visuals, photos, or animations in their videos. However, performances will be judged primarily on musical interpretation, ensemble intonation, and presentation. All videos must be newly recorded for this competition and unpublished elsewhere. Finalists’ videos will premiere on the Orpheus Music YouTube channel and be featured across Orpheus Music’s website, newsletters, and social media. Those not selected as finalists are welcome to publish their videos independently after the competition. Prizes include cash awards (up to AUD $1000), interviews and features in Gecko Recorder Newsletter, video showcases at the Australasian Recorder Festival 2026, and Orpheus Music gift packs featuring digital publications, CDs, and merchandise. more info... |
