My name is Leo, and I am 13 years old. I started studying piano two and half years ago in 2022. I fell in love with piano instantly. I listen to recordings of my favorite pianists every day, and I read about history of different composers and their works constantly.
Since I started my piano studies, I have performed at Chamber Music OC 4 times (2 performance in 2023 and 2 in 2024), I attended Concordia Chamber music festival in 2024, and performed in group recitals 2 times. I was also fortunate enough to win 2nd place in 4th Barum International Piano Competition. I am currently practicing my solo piano repertoire 3 hours a day, in addition to that, I also participate in Junior Chamber Music (JCM) with my flute, violin trio.
