Riya (Williams House) has been selected
by the London Philharmonic Orchestra as one of their
eight Junior LPO Artists in 2020/21. Last Sunday was
the induction and the first mentoring session which
took place in London. The LPO Junior Artists scheme
takes eight talented young musicians from backgrounds
currently under-represented in the professional UK
orchestras. More information on the programme can be
found here.
Riya also did amazingly well in the Royal College of Music
Junior Department's digital competitions last term. Out
of over 350 entries, Riya won second place in Piano and
third place in Recital. Riya and her sister Berniya also
won second place in the Duo Competition.
