“As a young aspiring violinist, participating in the Menuhin Competition is one of the greatest opportunities I could ever receive. Not only will I be able to perform in front of the most successful juries in the industry, but I will also be able to meet and perform alongside the most talented violinists of my age. Even as a Competition, the inspiring nature of the Menuhin Competition will enable me to learn and grow as a musician through its masterclasses and other unique programmes. I look forward to Geneva, the Menuhin Competition, and, most importantly, this once in a lifetime experience.”
