The annual Hubert van der Spuy National Music Competition, this year in its 35th year, will be marked by a new collaboration with the Stellenbosch University Music Department and will take place at the Endler Hall from Monday September 16 to Friday September 20.
The Hubert van der Spuy National Music Competition is organised and presented by the Tygerberg branch of the South African Society of Music Teachers (SASMT). The first competition took place in 1989.
