| A segment of the audience attending the piano competition. The indefatigable Mr Chua (who attends every concert there is to attend in Singapore) sits near the front. |
 |

 |
| Kseniia Vokhmianina with her long-time teacher at NAFA, Boris Kraljevic |
 |
| Yoh Hao Zi plays big sister to the 5-year-old daughter of Nicholas Ong & Kim Bo Kyung. |

 |
| Without them, there would be no functional pianos: Eddie Ho with Thomas Hubsch, who is on the Leeds competition piano jury. |
 |
| Meeting two giants of the piano, jury members Noriko Ogawa and Ilana Vered. In 1981, Vered played Brahms' Piano Concerto No.2 with the SSO, my first ever "live" experience of the work. Noriko Ogawa as also one of the first pianists I interviewed as Editor of the SSO newsletter, and performed at the Singapore International Piano Festival when I was Artistic Director. |
