Catching up with previous winner Juan Pablo Hinojosa

Juan Pablo Hinojosa was the winner of the Senior Recital Class in the Springboard 2014 Festival.  John Bruzon has been following his progress.

“I attended Juan Pablo’s recent recital in Brighton and wanted to share with you how very much I enjoyed his playing.

He has matured considerably and was sincere and most eloquent with his introductions to the music he was about to play.  In works by Debussy, Scriabin and Albeniz, Juan Pablo demonstrated a clear understanding of structure and style. He makes a beautiful sound at the piano, always allowing phrases to breathe in a natural way and displaying a wonderful sense of musicianship. He is a natural communicator!”

Currently Juan Pablo is at the RCM studying with Gordon Fergus-Thompson, who was our remarkable adjudicator last year, however he is in desperate need of support with college fees for his final year. You can make a donation at: https://www.gofundme.com/24j6jnry
