    I am not surprised and hope this will the start to something very promising. Heard her in as jury member at the Lev Vlassenko competition in Brisbane and she was very impressive indeed .One of the most promising pianists coming from New Zealand in recent years.Her teacher Qu Yong is also a remarkable pedagogue for whom I have the highest respect .
