‘I am incredibly excited to meet and collaborate with my fellow scholars and to be inspired by the wonderful musicians around me. This life changing support means so much to me and my family and will allow me to focus fully on my studies and music making. I am especially looking forward to learning from the incredible musicians of the LSO and being part of such inspiring and exciting opportunities that would not have been possible for me without this support.’
