Global (21 July, 2023) — Budding musicians from around the world went note-to-note recently as part of the American Virtuoso International Music Competition. Among them is a young South African pianist whose future in music might just be filled with standing ovations.
Muso Ian Graham made it to the finals of the International Music Competition; making the dream to showcase his talent on career-defining stages that much more of a reality.
If Ian wins, he’ll have the spotlight to perform in a concert at THE Carnegie Hall in Manhattan, New York.
