Year 9 Student Wins the Ballade Category of The London International Chopin Competition
We are delighted to announce that Aaron in Year 9 won the Ballade category at the London International Chopin Competition. This was his first international competition entry, making his achievement even more impressive.
The London International Chopin Competition is a well-regarded event that gives young pianists the opportunity to showcase their talent by performing pieces composed by Chopin. Competitors enter specific categories based on their chosen repertoire, and Aaron’s performance secured him the top spot in the Ballade category.
The competition’s jury is made up of an esteemed panel, including a past winner of the International Chopin Competition in Warsaw – one of the most prestigious piano competitions in the world – alongside professors from leading music colleges and a performance lecturer from Cambridge. To impress such a serious panel is no small feat, making Aaron’s win all the more impressive.
A huge well done to Aaron on this fantastic achievement.
