In just two final competitive rounds one will be gloriously crowned the winner. The Sydney Symphony Orchestra will provide support for the final test of a 18th century concerto and a 19th/20th century concerto. Each finalist has selected one concerto from a prescribed-list for this ultimate battle round.
