Thijs Willers wins 1ste price Prinses Christina Comopetition and Matangi price

On Saturday 22 April, the final of the Princess Christina Competition took place in Amare The Hague. The level during this final was exceptionally high and in Category 2 there were even two first prize winners: saxophonist António Paulo Martins Melo and pianist Thijs Willers. The Matangi prize also went to the 17 year old Thijs and with him we will give two concerts in the Matangi Moments series in the 23/24 season.

"Everyone who heard Thijs during the competition not only witnessed a wonderful mini-concert, but also witnessed the great potential he has to become a successful professional musician."
Ralph van Raat, jury member at the Princess Christina Competition
