🎉 Congratulations to Serbian pianist Sanja Stanković, who was awarded the First Prize and the Outstanding Musicality Special Award in the Professional (No Age Limit) category at the 15th Bach International Music Competition UK, 2025 Season 4. Reflecting on her awards, she shared that performing Bach’s music enhances focus, concentration, and musical thinking—qualities she believes are essential for both performers and listeners:
”Hello, I'm Sanja Stanković from Belgrade. I'm a pianist and this time I won the first prize and also a special prize for outstanding musicality. And what would I say to anyone else who plays Bach's music and loves to listen to Bach's music and also to myself is that uh Bach's music can really improve your focus, your attention and it can maybe develop some kind of logical thinking. So thank you for choosing me to be a winner of these two prizes and see you.“
