Picture

Two Purcell flautists have just given their Carnegie Hall debut! Matthew Higham (Yr 10), taught by Anna Pope and Daniel Shao (UVI), taught by Katie Bicknall were awarded First Prize in their respective age categories at the 2012 Alexander & Buono International  Flute Competition

As a result of their achievement, they travelled to New York to perform at the Winners’ Recital on Sunday 21 October at the prestigious Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall.

Both Matthew and Daniel were praised by the judges for their interpretation, musicality and technical expertise.

Well done both!
