Last June, I had the privilege of winning first place in the Senior division of the Nina Simone Piano Competition. This unforgettable moment came with a $10,000 prize and the incredible opportunity to perform Liszt Piano Concerto No.1 alongside the talented musicians of the Orchestra led by the renowned Maestro this past weekend.

Sharing the stage with the amazing and was an absolute honor. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to , Awadagin Pratt, , and everyone else involved for making this experience possible. 🙏🎹

I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for the enthusiastic standing ovation from the Cincinnati audience. I can’t wipe this smile off my face! 😊🎶
