Do I need tickets for both parts of the Junior Finals?
The Junior Finals have two rounds. The first round is during the day (2:30pm - 5:20pm) and it is free. It features collaborative pieces with pianists and with Bion Tsang (cello). The second round is in the evening starting at 7:00pm with the UTSO and it is a paid performance because it is a much larger evening event that features the announcement of the Junior winners.

choosing?
