One of my last duties before closing my Burnaby studio was to get students through the IPPA Conero International Music Festival 2023 Piano Competition. All four entries from my studio received the following accolades in the online finals:
Owen Yisu Wang, First Place, Professional Artist Category 14-17 years old
Jerry Zheng, Second Place (tie), Professional Artist Category 14-17 years old
Nathaniel Hou, “Excellent Performance” award, Professional Artist Category 14-17 years old
Ethan Yichun Wang, “Excellent Performance” award, Professional Artist Category 10-13 years old
Congratulations to them all!
