She has just won the national accordion competition organized at the School of Associated Music (EMA) in Rungis.
Last weekend, Thaïs Sancho-Escach made his family proud by winning the national accordion competition organized at the School of Associated Music (EMA) in Rungis (Val-de-Marne). Thaïs was the only one from Cabestany to participate in this national competition and win the title in her category.
“Thaïs has been studying the accordion for 4 years at the Cabestany Music School directed by Alice Barchilon after starting with the piano.specifies Gilles, his father, himself an accordionist and former student of Doris Stiegler, former director of the institution. “She has always loved learning, she is rigorous and has a real taste for a job well done. “, he confides not without pride.
In addition to music, Thaïs is a studious student at Pau-Casals college and also practices judo. She knows the competition: “ She likes to win and surpass herself“, explains his father. This national victory is the culmination of work started during the regional qualifying phases last February in Carcassonne. A costly adventure for the family who did not hesitate to travel several days to encourage the young musician.
The future of Thaïs remains to be written, even if the accordion could well be part of it. She already imagines giving lessons, passing on her love for music. In the meantime, she is focusing on the next steps: the qualifying phase, still in Carcassonne, of the next 2025 competition and perhaps a national final in Paris.
