"The Fellowship program gave me many outstanding and sometimes quite unique opportunities. As a Fellow I was mentored by musicians from the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, had masterclasses with members of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and participated in the Sydney Symphony European Tour. These are experiences for which I will always be grateful. Many thanks to my Fellowship donor!"
