Gabrielė Sutkutė: Piano Recital

The Festival committee makes no apology for bringing back this outstanding young pianist. Gabriele. exudes charm and personability and it is obvious that she plays because she loves the piano; she is noted for her “excellent precision and musicality”. Last year’s concert left the audience in raptures and many individuals left St Mary’s pleading for her to return. So return she will. Originally from Lithuania, Gabriele. was the recipient of the prestigious Mills Williams Junior Fellowship 2022/23 at the Royal Academy of Music. She is now studying with Professor Vanessa Latarche.
