“Our aim was to find not just the finest pianist, but the most
complete musician, and with Jaeden we have achieved that. He

demonstrated exceptional artistic maturity and imagination,
remarkable technical command, and a profound ability to
captivate and transport the audience through his storytelling and

poetry throughout the Competition, culminating in a truly
unforgettable final performance. We wish him, and all of the
competitors, every success in the future, and have no doubt we

will hear from many of them again.”
