Our Alumni Coordinator, Sarah Searle, caught up with 2018 prizewinner Rixiang Huang, about what he’s up to, and what difference the Hastings Competition made to his career.

We are delighted that the outstanding pianist, and the 2022 Hastings International Piano Concerto Competition prizewinner Thomas Kelly, has been announced as the recipient of the Benjamin Britten Piano Fellowship for 2023-24, awarded by the Royal College of Music (RCM) and generously supported by the Philip Loubser Foundation (PLF).
