Primavera Shima, piano
Biography
Starting at the earliest age at the
Sydney Conservatorium of Music,
Primavera quickly entered the precollege division of the prestigious
Juilliard School of Music of New York. She gained recognition as early as 2001 by being one of the
local state-finalists of the ABC Symphony Australia Young Performers Award, and performed a onehour live programme on Australian national radio 2MBS-FM. She also performed the Liszt Piano
Concerto n°1 with the East-West Orchestra in Sydney under the baton of Henryk Pisarek. She went
on to study at the Colburn School Conservatory of Music of Los Angeles and became in 2004 the
recipient of the Werner Baer Memorial Award; she then reached in 2009 the semi-finals at the Lev
Vlassenko Competition and received the Encouragement Award.
In 2010, Primavera received the Managing Director’s Award at the Jacques Samuel Intercollegiate
Piano Competition. The same year, she became the first ever dual-recipient of the Sterndale Bennett
Prize and of the Sterndale Bennett Scholarship since their inception 140 years ago at the Royal
Academy of Music of London, where she received her Bachelor of Music with honours in 2011.
Shortly after in 2012, she finished 4th at the 5th Mayenne International Piano Competition in France,
and was awarded the Special Prize at the 5th Rhodes International Competition in Greece, before
performing a concert at the Salle Cortot in Paris.
In 2013 Primavera SHIMA won the Tait award at the Royal Over-Seas League competition as well as
the Overseas Award. Most recently, she won the first prize at the Cecile Edel-Latos competition in
Chatou and the second prize at the Scriabine International Competition in Grosseto, Italy, 3rd Prize at
the Morocco international piano competition and 1st Prize, Audience Prize and Prix des lycéens at
Mayenne international piano competition.
Primavera had the pleasure and honour of counting amongst her professors John Perry, Margaret
Hair, Elizabeth Powell, Herbert Stessin, and Ian Foutain. She also participated in masterclasses given
by Dmitri Bashkirov, Marc Durand and Lev Vlassenko.
Primavera now lives in France and received the Diplome supérieur de Concertiste after finishing her
studies at the Ecole Normale de Musique Alfred Cortot de Paris under the guidance of Marian
Rybicki.
