Pianist Rowe scoops EPTA prize

The 19-year-old gave a subsequent recital at last month's EPTA UK annual conference at Liverpool's Hope University and performed in the conference masterclass. The prize also includes a concert at St Martin-in-the-Fields in 2009.

'I thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the EPTA competition,' said Rowe. 'It was lovely to be able to perform the final round in the Jacqueline du Pré Music Building at St Hilda's College in Oxford and I feel privileged to have been chosen as the national winner. It really was a special opportunity and I've been offered some wonderful recital opportunities as a result.'

Earlier this year the pianist also won the RNCM's first year piano prize and a cello-piano duo prize. She previously studied at Chetham's School of Music and the Junior Royal Academy.
