Breffni O'Byrne wins prestigious Leverhulme Scholarship

Composition student, Breffni O'Byrne, will have one less concern as he plans his post-graduate future with Simon Bainbridge at the Royal Academy of Music in September 2011. He has received the prestigious Leverhulme scholarship which covers the entirety of his fees for next year. Breffni is no stranger to success, having already won the coveted NCH Jerome Hynes Composition Award in his first year as a BA student with us, and winning the international Gunter Bialas Competition in Munich the following year. Well done Breffni!
