Gold for Hana Chen!

A wonderful achievement for Hana Chen, who was awarded Gold at the National Eisteddfod for her solo piano performance of "The Ice Skaters".

Hana brought the piece to life through her musical expression and confidence at the piano. Achievements like this reflect not only natural talent, but also the time, practice and commitment that goes into preparing for a performance.

We are so proud to see Hana’s hard work recognised on a national stage. Well done, Hana, on a fantastic achievement!
