OMWPA
Overseas Masters Winter Piano Academy

The Overseas Masters Winter Piano Academy (OMWPA) is a UK winter piano course for talented young Asians, and was established in December 2010 to take place every two years at the prestigious Yehudi Menuhin School in Surrey, England, one of the very top music schools in the world. OMWPA is dedicated to Edward Nyee Foh Chen.

 

OMWPA course participants receive individual piano lessons, group classes, lectures, evening recitals given by music professors attached professionally to the Royal College of Music, Royal Academy of Music, Royal Northern College of Music, Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama, Guildhall School of Music & Drama, Trinity Laban, Chetham's School of Music, and the Yehudi Menuhin School. As well as receiving allocated lessons, each student can also attend lessons given to other students. At their graduation, each student performs at the Gala Concert on a full size handmade resident concert grand piano.
