I was extremely proud and honoured to be awarded the title of MBE - Most Excellent Order of the British Empire - by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in her 2021 Birthday Honours List. The award is for "services to charity and for the promotion of classical music" and I was simply blown away to get the news. As was, of course, my Mum! I am practising my curtsey already for when I go to the Palace to receive the medal...Can´t wait! June 15th, 2021
