‘I have been so fortunate to be selected as a Scholarship Holder of the Imogen Cooper Music Trust. It was one of the most memorable and productive weeks of my life - during which I had inspiring masterclasses with the world-renowned pianist Imogen Cooper, met talented young musicians and performed in a concert on a brilliant piano. I am deeply grateful for this wonderful opportunity to go into the depths of Classical and Romantic repertoire - it has enriched me as an artist by guiding me to new musical discoveries, ideas. Thank you!’
