π She walked onto the stage and performed for herself.
That is what Theadora Koski said when we asked about her win.
Not for the judges. Not for the trophy. For herself β because that is what years of practice had quietly built inside her. πΉ
Last year, Theadora took home CCCTIMF 2025's highest honours β the Grand Trophy π and the Signature Trophy π β with her teacher, her family, and an entire room of fellow musicians behind her. π€
And when her name was called, the other winners cheered. Genuinely. A room full of young musicians who had poured everything into that same stage β celebrating each other like old friends.
That is what a shared love of music does.
That is what CCCTIMF is made of. πΆ
