He won the ESNCM’s Concerto Competition in 2018, and has twice reached the finals of the Chopin Prize competition at the Royal Northern College of Music.
He made his London debut last year in a packed Southwark Cathedral, where his rendition of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto no 3 won a standing ovation – from both the audience and the orchestra!
