The Chamber Music Contest is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to perform and hone our skills, as well as to appreciate the talents of other musicians our age. This time, Ivy, Candice, and I collaborated exceptionally well, demonstrating a maturity that surpassed our first year together in 2023. I also want to express my gratitude to Ms Treneman for her dedication and effort in bringing us together. As this is the final Chamber Music Contest of my high school years, it is certainly a moment I will always cherish.
