Six up-and-coming musicians will take the stage for a chance to be crowned Young Musician of the Year

The Griffith Musician's Club will be hosting the Young Musician of the Year competition at the Griffith Regional Theatre at 6.30 - featuring performances from all six entrants.

The six entrants will take the stage to showcase their abilities for guests - including music teachers and the Griffith Musician's Club as well as any interested community members.

Following the performances, three three finalists and an eventual winner will be announced - but not before the coveted People's Choice award.

Griffith Musician's Club president Michael Pfitzner said he was particularly excited for the people's choice.

"It's great to have the People's Choice award because it gives the audience a chance to vote on the best performance of the night whereas the "Young Musician of the Year" award has been decided earlier ... It enables people in the audience to gauge how they perform live as opposed to what they submitted in their application

He said that while the winners had been decided, neither the entrants or the Griffith Musician's Club knew the results yet.

"They've all voted, and they won't know until the night either ... but the finalists are well deserved."

The six entrants for 2023 are Lilly Harris, Lauren Minato, Josephine Furore, Leo Forner, Charlie Jones and Anthony Bethe - collectively bringing a wide range of instruments and genres to the fore.

"We're very pleased with the nominees ... It makes for an interesting night. There's a variety of instruments and vocalists - makes it all the harder because you're comparing apples and oranges and bananas and kiwifruit," Mr Pfitzner said.

The Awards night is open to all music lovers, with an entry fee of $20 at the door.
