Amber took first prize at the International Music Competition Hohenpriesnitz and Germany’s national 'Jugend Musiziert' competition, as well as second prize at the International Competition 'Szymon Goldberg'.
Leah has won top prizes at competitions internationally and throughout the UK, including at the International Chopin Festival in Mazovia, Polyphonica International Competition in St. Petersburg, the Scottish International Youth Piano Competition, and Chetham's Bösendorfer Piano Competition.
