“The Menuhin Competition is a dream come true for me! I’ve dreamt of this as a child, and it’s incredible to think that I would one day be on stage with fellow musicians, from whom I hope to learn. It’s an honour to be a part of such a prestigious Competition. Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity!”
