PhD candidate Dimitra Ananiadou receives the Silver Prize (professional category) at the ’Virtuoso International Music Awards 2023’ The ’Virtuoso International Music Awards 2023’ is an international classical music competition based in London.

Dimitra said:

"I am very glad I received this award for playing Beethoven’s C minor sonata. It’s one of my favourite pieces and it is related to my dissertation at University of Manchester. This professional category is the most competitive one, as anyone over 25 years old (with no age limit) could come and perform from all over the world."

Dimitra’s PhD is supervised by Professor Barry Cooper’, a distinguished musicologist and Beethoven expert.
There will be a gala concert in London for selected prize winners in the first half of 2024.
