The event was entered by 50 budding conductors from across the world. They were judged by an international jury chaired by leading Norwegian conductor Sigmund Thorp.

Earlier this year Ślusarczyk took the top award at the London Classical Soloists Conducting Competition. She also won third prize at the First European Union International Conducting Competition in Sofia, Bulgaria, and received an honourable mention at the BMW International Conducting Masterclass and Competition in Portugal.

Ślusarczyk is a graduate of the Music Academies in Katowice and Kraków, southern Poland. She has appeared on the conductor’s podium in the United States, Russia, Israel, Norway, Iceland, Britain, France, and Ukraine.

She is currently conductor-in-residence with the Silesian Philharmonic in Katowice. (mk/gs)
