George–Emmanuel Lazaridis

Pianist

Music

Trinity Laban was the place where I learnt how to listen. Listen to all kinds of music with the same kind of care, listen to those I disagree with and gain valuable creative feedback, listen to my heart and believe in what it's really trying to say. At Trinity Laban I found the most unbiased, open minded, encouraging and respectful environment any musician could ever hope to develop within. I shall always bear the fondest memories from those precious years. Thank you.
