World Federation of International Music Competitions
What a joy it was to listen to you and what a pleasure to watch you play, throughout the Lyon international chamber music competition and the three recitals you gave. Your personal qualities, as well as those of your ensemble, are remarkable. You strike a perfect balance between strong, individual musical personalities and a shared commitment to a unified interpretation. It is beautiful to hear, and beautiful to witness taking shape. And then… the sheer quality of your performances — no mishaps, an obvious delight in making music together — your story radiates talent at every moment. So bravo! You embody the ideal synthesis of the academic excellence we always hope to encounter and that subtle “step to the side” that makes you singular and original.
Your first prize and all the special prizes are a clear testament to your exceptional talent and the quality of your work. Bravo indeed!
David Pastor, General manager of Lyon international chamber music competition.

Carlo Colombo, chairman of the jury
A fantastic quintet that plays with remarkable harmonic cohesion. They strike an ideal balance between blending seamlessly as an ensemble and stepping forward individually when needed.
