The first YCAT Composer Fellow, in memory in Hans Keller and supported by the Cosman Keller Art and Music Trust, is Electra Perivolaris, a composer and pianist from Scotland whose music draws inspiration from her mixed British and Greek heritage. Her talent has been lauded by BBC Introducing and BBC Radio 3, positioning her as a rising star in the classical music landscape.
