“We’re delighted with the buzz that it’s created around the world and we’re looking forward to performances by 42 students from ten different countries” said Elena.
“They will be playing works by EVC Music composers: Donald Thomson, Paul Birchall, Heather Hammond, Lindsey Berwin, Elena Cobb, Irina Nenartovich, Sam Wedgwood, Andrew Higgins as well as compositions by well-known guest composers Christopher Norton and Richard Rodney Bennett. “
The Elena Cobb Star Prize Event (Winners Concert and Showcase Recital) is a unique performance opportunity which was created to bring together young pianists and new piano performance repertoire.
