Pianist Misha Meyer (15) took part in the annual Sanlam competition for young musicians from the age of 7 until she was 13. She recently performed as a soloist with the Randburg City Orchestra and also returned from a summer school in Bulgaria with a bursary for a month of master classes and private lessons in the USA next year. Prof. Tamas Unger, founder of the prestigious Van Cliburn Piano Institute in Fort Worth, Texas, gave her the bursary after seeing her perform in Bulgaria.
The Afrikaanse Hoër Meisieskool Grade 10 pupil is trained by Prof. Joseph Stanford at the University of Pretoria. After Matric, Misha hopes to study for a B.Mus. and then go to Italy for further studies.
Emile de Roubaix (24), from Stellenbosch, is a violinist. He recently started a 2-year post-graduate diploma in chamber music at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester.
