Year 10 pupil and Steinway Scholar, Ameli, showcased her musical talent with two public concerts in Bulgaria alongside a symphony orchestra.

Recently crowned Maidstone Young Musician of the Year 2024, Ameli mesmerised audiences with performances of Chopin’s Piano Concerto No.1 and Kapustin’s Toccatina from his 8 Concert Etudes Op. 40.

Despite only two rehearsals, her collaboration with the orchestra was flawless, earning praise from both conductor and peers. The conductor’s invitation for another concert speaks volumes about her talent.

Networking with seasoned musicians added depth to this remarkable experience, balanced with diligent studies for impending exams—an exceptional achievement for such a young musician.
