students from the Australian National Academy of Music will be featured in concertos conducted by Johannes Fritzsch in Hobart tomorrow night.
Clarinetist Magdalenna Krstevska will play the Nielsen Clarinet Concerto Opus 57.
Krstevska has performed with top youth and professional orchestras, including the Melbourne, Sydney and Tasmanian symphony orchestras and the Australian World Orchestra.
She is principal clarinet with the Australian Youth Orchestra, with whom she has toured internationally many times.
Double bassist Alex AraiSwale won the Audience Prize at the ANAM concerto final in Hobart last year and also received the St Silas ANAM achievement award for best first-year musician.

will perform the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto in D Opus 35.
Chung, who is in her first year at the ANAM, started playing the violin at age three. She made her orchestral debut with the Guangxi Provincial Symphony Orchestra in China at the age of 11.
Last year Chung won the Dorcas McClean travelling scholarship, after her recital and performance of the Sibelius Concerto with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
In 2015, she was selected as concertmaster for both programs of the Australian International Symphony Orchestra Institute.
The concert starts at the Federation Concert Hall at 7.30pm tomorrow. Tickets are $21 for adults, $16 concession and students, and $10 for children, available from tso.com.au
