​

Winner of the competition was Sydney-based pianist Nicholas Kennedy, giving a stirring, magnetic and powerful performance of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No 5 in E-flat Major, otherwise known as the Emperor Concerto. He filled the space with a quirky stage presence, giving a performance that was at once expressive, emotional and physical. His keyboard gymnastics were bold and broad one minute and exquisitely delicate the next, and at all times were infused with an emotion that carried into every muscle of his body.
