Springboard – Brighton & Hove Performing Arts Festival
Brighton & Hove Performing Arts Festival – providing a supportive platform for actors and musicians of all ages
at The International Virtuoso & Belcanto Chamber Music Competition in Lucca, Italy.
Springboard sponsor, Eugenia Cheng, was on ‘More or Less’ on Radio 4 this week considering the question of how many possible melodic combinations there are of the major and minor scale. It’s an interesting listen and is available on BBC Sounds.
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our Piano Section Secretary, Heather Cowl.
Heather was involved with Springboard for many years and was an invaluable member of the Piano Section respected for her knowledge, passion and sense of humour.
She will be greatly missed.
Congratulations to Riya Hamie, former winner of Springboard’s Corin Long Recital class, who has won the Peter Morrison Concerto Competition at the Royal College of Music Junior Department (RCMJD) playing the monumental Dvorak Cello Concerto in B minor. Read more here.
Congratulations to Springboard performer, Berniya Hamie, who has been chosen as a Tabor Piano Ambassador for the Leeds Piano Competition where she has been inspiring school children and other members of the public in various venues around the city.
We are delighted to announce that Brenock O’Connor, who has taken part in Springboard for many years, is to become a patron of Springboard.
