ABOUT
The Victorian Schools Instrumental Championships -
a competition for the state's best up and coming musicians.
The Victorian Schools Instrumental Championships (VSIC) is a new event dedicated to celebrating and nurturing the musical talents of school-age students across Victoria. Across 2 weekends in October, outstanding young musicians will come together to showcase their talents, and compete for a state championship title in piano, strings, drums and guitar.
Our mission is to inspire, educate and elevate the next generation of musicians. The VSIC is an opportunity to gain performance experience, expert feedback and recognition in music performance.
