Brigitta Sveda
Brigitta was born in 1992 in Budapest, Hungary. She began her piano studies at the age of seven with Julianna Rábai in Debrecen. At the age of fourteen she joined the junior class of the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music in Budapest. Her teachers were Gyöngyi Keveházi and Gábor Eckhardt. During her studies Brigitta won the first prize of The International Piano Competition in Zagreb. At the age of 18, she entered the Ferenc Liszt Academy of Music, where her professors were Imre Hargitai and Attila Némethy. She graduated in 2016. Last year she got through to the semi-final of the Béla Bartók International Piano Competition in Szeged.
Brigitta is currently a first year postgraduate student at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire as a Weingarten Scholarship-holder, studying under John Thwaites and Pascal Nemirovski. During her time at the Conservatoire, she has participated in masterclasses with pianists such as Klaus Sticken and Katya Apekishava.
In the academic year 2019/2020 she will begin a Personal Study Programme provided by Weingarten Memorial Trust and Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.

Flora has been invited to perform in masterclasses with leading cellists such as Raphael Wallfisch, Andrés Diaz, Andrew Schulman, Jian Wang and Hannah Roberts. As an avid chamber musician Flora has been recognised by winning the Dame Ruth Railton Chamber Prize and has recently enjoyed working alongside musicians such as Caroline Pether and Tasmin Little.
This year Flora gained a place on both the CBSO and Birmingham Royal Ballet orchestral training schemes, in addition to working with both Welsh National Opera and Orchestra of the Swan on their side-by-side schemes.
