Around the Globe Music & Arts Newsletter, July 2026
Dear Subscribers,
Reflecting on our June 20th concert this year, we celebrate the incredible talent showcased and invite you to support these young artists by watching the videos and sharing your encouragement to help their journey flourish.
We were absolutely thrilled to welcome our incredible participants who journeyed from all across the UK, and even from Belgrade, to join us at this fantastic event! Their dedication and passion shone as they arrived in time for rehearsal, ready to deliver an unforgettable performance at the stunning St Cuthbert's Church in Earls Court, London. What an amazing experience it was!
The atmosphere was absolutely charged as an extraordinary lineup of talented young musicians took to the stage, delivering breathtaking renditions of timeless masterpieces by Rachmaninoff, Beethoven, Grieg, Mussorgsky, Bach, Einaudi, and many more. The pinnacle of the evening came with an awe-inspiring performance by the brilliant Alla Levit, who captivated the audience with her artistry while showcasing the works of Monica Sroczynska—the standout first-prize winner of the Around the Globe Piano Composition Competition! This dazzling display was followed by spellbinding preludes from 'The Chimeras' by the modern composer Graham Lynch, marking both pieces as UK Premieres. The energy in the room was palpable, and it truly was a night to remember!
We are deeply moved to share with you our new 6-part video series, "Music Harmony Across Generations," celebrating the phenomenal winners and artists of the Around the Globe International Music Festival (AGIMF). This curated series takes you on an emotional journey through the human experience of the piano. You will witness the pure, uninhibited joy of early childhood, the fierce brilliance of our teenagers, the inspiring dedication of adulthood, and the profound depth of professional mastery.
We encourage you to watch these extraordinary performances on the AGMA YouTube channel and support our young musicians by leaving comments and sharing their stories.
