Europe 2013


In the year of 2013, I had the opportunity to take part in the Summa Cum Laude International Youth Music Competition 2013 in Vienna. On the way to Vienna and back to Singapore, the group stopped by at Prague, Salzburg and Munich. Many thanks to the kindness and fellowship of the orchestra members. They have made the trip to Europe especially positive and memorable.
