✨🎶Ahead of tomorrow's Birmingham International Piano Competition final, we spoke to the finalists to get their behind-the-scenes insights into the process. Here's what Sherri Lun, currently studying at RAM with Christopher Elton, had to say!🎶✨
"A special moment in the process was when I went to grab coffee, and the results came out early. I was rushing back, holding a coffee cup in my hand, and almost spilt it when I saw a text saying I got through!
The standard was very high in the previous round, so it is truly a great honour to be chosen as a finalist. There will certainly be some pressure for the final round, but I really hope to be able to enjoy the process of making music and sharing it with the audience.
My programme for the final round consists of two substantial works - Beethoven’s Waldstein sonata and Franck’s Prelude, Chorale and Fugue. Both works could be considered the pillar works of the two composers. I think it’s a very exciting programme because of the stark contrasts between the two."
Join us for the final tomorrow in our Bradshaw Hall at 3pm, alongside the distinguished jury: two of the leading pianists of our time, Imogen Cooper and Norma Fisher.
