Avantgarde Pancyprian Competition for Young Pianists!

Held every two years, this prestigious competition brings together pianists under the age of 17 in a single category. This was Sophia’s third time taking part and she made history as the only contestant ever to reach the final round in three consecutive editions, demonstrating remarkable dedication, hard work and commitment.

As the First Prize winner, Sophia will represent Cyprus at the Steinway Festival in Hamburg next year. She was also awarded the Sistema Prize, which gives her the opportunity to perform as a soloist with an orchestra.

Sophia began playing the piano at the age of four and has developed a deep love and appreciation for music. She enjoys discovering new things, expressing herself and continuously learning through music. She has taken part in several piano competitions in Cyprus and abroad, gaining valuable experience and enriching her musical journey.

We are incredibly proud of Sophia and all that she has achieved. She has many wonderful opportunities ahead and we wish her every success as she continues to grow and shine. She is an inspiring example to us all. Congratulations, Sophia!
