Concerts for All are proud to see our young performers grow and develop! These musicians not only enrich our community concerts but also make their mark in various musical settings across Sydney.
Connie Liu and Symphony Shi
Congratulations to Connie Liu and Symphony Shi on winning the Multiples Concerto category at the KPO Concerto Competition with their performance of Mendelssohn's Double Concerto for Violin and Piano! Their teacher, Evgeny Sorkin, expressed his warm congratulations in an Instagram post:
Symphony has been a wonderful part of our community concerts since October 2024, while Connie first performed with us at our March 2025 storytelling concert. Both are music scholarship recipients at Meriden School.
Our audience at our sold-out Animal-Themed Storytelling Concert for Children on 22 March had the privilege of experiencing this piece performed beautifully, with Samuel Dharma accompanying at the piano.
Symphony will be performing in our upcoming storytelling concert for children on 29 April:

Emma Rose Koeswandy and Chantelle Tiranatvitayakul
Our featured performers Emma Rose Koeswandy and Chantelle Tiranatvitayakul, also students of Meriden, have been participating in WestPhil Chamber Orchestra's "The Advocates: Part 1" program. After enriching rehearsals and music-making, they performed with the orchestra in a concert at St Patrick's Cathedral in Parramatta. We're delighted to see our performers engaging with Sydney's broader classical music community!
