MASTERCLASS DAY 1  

MELVYN TAN and SIMON ROWLAND-JONES

THOMAS KELLY and ANA MANASTIREANU piano from the Royal College of Music

CLOVA QUARTET from the Royal Academy of Music

MELVYN TAN and SIMON ROWLAND-JONES will be working with two young pianists THOMAS KELLY and ANA MANASTIREANU both from the Royal College of Music, and the CLOVA QUARTET from the Royal Academy of Music. You may well remember Thomas Kelly from his previous visit to NNMF in 2019. This year he has been accepted to participate in the 2021 Leeds International Piano Competition.  Ana is more focused on chamber music and appeared just recently in a live-streamed concert as part of the Oxford Lieder Festival.

The Clova Quartet have worked primarily with Levon Chilingirian and will be taking part in the 2021 Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition shortly after their appearance at NNMF.

Masterclasses on 10th and 11th August will last approximately three hours. 

Both Melvyn Tan and Simon Rowland-Jones will be teaching and all the students will be playing in both classes. These will be relaxed and informal events, and listeners are invited to enter and leave as they please at any point between 3-6pm.

Audience members are welcome to stay for a drink after the class has finished and meet everyone involved.
