The Grier Trio

Savitri (19) is taught by David Takeno. Exquisite, expressive and sublime are words that begin to describe Savitri's performance, an experience reminiscent of descriptions of Jacqueline du Pre's first concerto performances were the words of Howard Moody, who conducted Savitri's first performance of Bruch's 1st Violin Concerto in 2006. Savitri made her Royal Albert Hall debut in May 2012 with a performance of the Mendelssohn violin concerto conducted by Jonathan Willcocks. In July 2010, Savitri won the Tunbridge Wells International Young Concert Artists competition. She also played the Mozart Adagio in E at a concert in the Barbican Hall. She performed the Tchaikovsky concerto in the Turner Sims Concert Hall in December 2010, and again with the Junior Royal Academy of Music Symphony Orchestra in July 2011, after winning the Junior Academy Concerto Competition. In February 2012, Savitri won the Oxford Philomusica Concerto Competition with her performance of the Tchaikovsky concerto in the Sheldonian Theatre, Oxford, and has been invited to perform the Sibelius violin concerto with Philomusica in October 2012. Savitri and Indira will be performing the Brahms Double Concerto in June 2012. She is currently reading Music at Christ Church, Oxford.
