Congratulations to Hannah Zhou, who has been invited to the Dr Koo Music Scholarship 2025 in recognition of her contributions to the Hills community through her active participation in the Hills Youth Orchestra, as well as her outstanding achievements in music studies and her Grade 8 examination.

Quote from the examiner’s report:
“A flowing presentation. The string acorassings were well managed, and you use rubato effectively to shape phrases. This was a lyrical performance played with lots of expression. You maintained a steady pulse, and the rhythmic elements were well defined. This movement was performed confidently at a steady tempo. Intonation was well achieved, and you produced a rich, contrasted tone.”
