Supersize Swainson Showcase

Marsden's premier showcase of individual musicianship, the 2019 Swainson Music Prize and Nell Clere Music Scholarship Concert, was one of the largest we've ever put on! A testament to the number of very talented musicians we have here. Congratulations to all performers, you did a brilliant job and made it incredibly hard for adjudicator, Pepe Becker.

We are delighted to announce the winner of the Betty Swainson Memorial Prize for 2018 is Maggie Dai Y13, on the piano, with runner up Olivia Coustance Y9, on the violin.
