The Award finalists must be prepared to perform up to four 45-minute solo recitals across a range of contrasting repertoire during the Award week in Shepparton.

• Baroque music – up to and including Johann Sebastian Bach.
• Classic music – after Bach, including the music of Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert.     
• Romantic music – from the 19th century up to 1900, but not including the music of Beethoven or Schubert.
• French impressionist music and 20th century music up to 1950.    
• Music composed after 1950.
• An Australian classic work.
