Congratulations!

Congratulations to Matthew Cassie for winning the Piano Prize in the Norfolk Young Musician Competition. This took place on Sunday 16th January 2022 at the John Innes Centre in Norwich.

Matthew’s programme consisted of Rachmaninov’s Prelude Op.23 No.4 in D major, Beethoven’s Piano Sonata Op.10 No.1 (3rd movt) and the Fantasiestuck “Aufschwung” by Schumann.

The performance was delivered with great style and commitment, and the adjudicator was full of praise for Matthew’s playing.
