REVIEW 1987

"The Leopold Mozart Competition will always be a wonderful memory for me as it was a definite turning point in my musical career. At that time – I was 15 years old and had experience only in chamber music - I had decided to “try my luck” in Augsburg as the youngest candidate to take part. It was well beyond my dreams, that I was able to achieve 1st place as the Award Winner. This opened all the doors for me as a solo concert performer. This success was the basis for the continual and natural development of my musical career which affords me constant pleasure in making music. I have never ceased to be amazed at the possibilities of this art! I am eternally grateful to the Leopold Mozart Competition for showing me the way! I hope that this competition continues to encourage and support the joy of music."
