Ksenija Sidorova Wins Prestigious Competition – UKby Prof. Owen Murray |
Ksenija Sidorova, a student of the Royal Academy of Music, London, won the 'Friends of the Royal Academy of Music Wigmore Award' competition on February 5th in the Wigmore Hall. Ksenija Sidorova was also awarded the audience prize. It is significant to note that this was a competition of the highest level involving all instruments and voice, with a professional jury that included maestro Yan Pascal Tortelier. That accordionists are having such success in competitions of this level open to all instruments and voice, is extremely exciting and moves the accordion another step closer to being fully integrated into the classical music culture in the UK. For that, we can all be happy! Ksenija Sidorova will play in a prize winners concert at the Wigmore Hall on May 18th. Please check the Wigmore Hall website for details nearer the date.
