Royal Conservatory Of Music Gold Medal Winner’s Celebration of Excellence Recital
It was a joy to support and celebrate one of my students at the Royal Conservatory of Music’s 2025 Celebration of Excellence on November 16th.
Aston earned the highest mark among all students in the region of Ontario who took his grade-level practical performance exam in 2024 and was awarded a Regional Gold Medal for his achievement.
As part of his accomplishment, Aston was invited to perform a solo at Mazzoleni Hall, joining fellow Gold Medal recipients from Ontario and Québec at the Conservatory’s Celebration of Excellence Recital.
It was a proud moment for everyone in attendance, and truly inspiring to watch so many students share their passion for music. A special thank you to collaborative pianist Judith deHaney for so skillfully supporting Aston on stage, and to the RCM for hosting such a memorable event.
Congratulations to Aston and all the 2024 Gold Medal recipients for their hard work and dedication—I can’t wait to see what music you share with the world next!
