Alice receives her award in person from Robert Wells at his own music club Rhapsody Lounge at Engelen in Gamla Stan. For Alice Power, the award comes as no surprise.

This concert was recorded by Chinese TV and broadcast in the days.

“Becoming this year's King of Piano feels inspiring, it is very fun to get feedback from such a skilled pianist as Robert Wells”, says Alice Power.
