British piano student makes La Scala recital debut
mainA Bulgarian pianist, Emanuil Ivanov, studying for a BMus degree at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, will play a live-streamed solo recital from Teatro alla Scala on Saturday 27 February.
No pressure, then.
Emanuil won first prize at the Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition in September 2019.
Thank you for your clarification that he is actually Bulgarian, not British, as was stated in the title of the article.
why is this news?
If he won the Busoni competition, then he’s no stranger to pressure. Good on him! I’ll have to look up his program.
“British piano student” should read “Bulgarian studying piano in UK”
First prize? Didn’t they have one of those athletic Russian girls good at Rachmaninov?
Bulgarian???
