"My time at the Imogen Cooper Music Trust in Eygalières was a week I will never forget. The combination of Imogen’s intensive and deeply inspiring guidance in this incredible music and the warmest, most welcoming atmosphere made this experience truly special.

I simply cannot imagine better circumstances to dive deep into something like the intricate emotional landscape of Schubert’s C minor Sonata - but also the works by Janáček, Beethoven, Szymanowski, Bach and Chopin are from now on linked to this time and place for me. What a wealth of repertoire we could tackle during these few days!

I am incredibly grateful to Imogen and the Trust for offering this rare and invaluable opportunity which not only enhanced my musicianship but also reaffirmed why I love the world of music so much!

Infinite thanks also to Bryan and Pat, our exceptionally generous hosts (and culinary artists!), to Alice, who was always there to ensure everything ran smoothly and to fellow pianist Evren Ozel, whose company made the week even more enjoyable."
