Then read about Sima Dere's experience in her own words.
Taking part in this competition was an incredible journey for me. Immersing myself in the competition's atmosphere, connecting with fellow musicians, and collaborating with the Paradox Jazz Orchestra have all been truly remarkable experiences. During the competition day, we had a blast on stage and I had the opportunity to interact with many wonderful musicians. I am genuinely delighted with the experience and proud to have represented my school. I had the opportunity to perform with the Paradox Jazz Orchestra after only a brief rehearsal just before the concert. This was intentionally designed to push candidates out of their comfort zones, providing a valuable experience for professional life. In reality, as musicians, we will frequently encounter similar situations, so this served as excellent practice, preparing us for such challenges.
