Last July in Porto (12-15), the 24th Edition of the Santa Cecilia International Piano Competition was held.
The junior section is made up of four categories that range from the youngest to the oldest up to 18 years old.

The jury was made up of Luis Costa, Eugénia Moura, Leo de María, Sha Xiao Ling and Yolanda Kouznetsov.

Spontaneous but true, Leo de María awarded scholarships to all the first and second prizes in categories C, D and E for the 26th edition of Leonel Morales & Friends Music Festival and Masterlcass.
