Eunsley’s Music Story
Eunsley grew up in Scotland. He mother was a piano teacher and she started violin and piano at a young age, at about 5 years old. A talent and passion for the violin though emerged quickly and it was suggested to her by her piano teacher to apply to the Yehudi Menuhin School, where her son had studied.
At the age of 10 Eunsley moved to study at the Yehudi Menuhin School. This was a great experience, and very intense. She shared a room with 3 other girls who were also studying the violin. There would be 4 hours of individual tuition each week and lots of performances and group rehearsals. At the time, the school only had 60 students from aged 8-18, so it was a focused and intimate experience, which led to her studying at the Royal College of Music.
Attracted by the reputation of the Royal College of Music but also the London location, Eunsley flourished here and ended up staying for 8 years. She completed her undergraduate and postgraduate degrees and held the position of Junior Fellow at the Royal College of Music from 2016-2017. In addition, Eunsley completed an Artist Diploma course at the Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst in Vienna.

She received Royal College of Music Foundation scholarships, including Henry Wood Awards, the Douglas and Hilda Simmonds Award and the BMus Award. She has also won various other awards including 3rd prize of the Tunbridge Wells Young International Concert Artists Competition, Help Musicians UK Postgraduate Performance Award, the Counter of Munster Award, the Martin Musical Scholarship Fund/Philharmonia Meyer Award, the Albert Cooper Award, RCM “Rising Star”, and was a selected Park Lane Group Artist, Concordia Foundation Artist, Talent Unlimited Artist, and is a yeoman of the Worshipful Company of Musicians.
Performing has been her main focus. She has performed in most of the prestigious music venues in London like the Wigmore Hall, Royal Albert Hall, Cadagan Hall and St John’s Smith Square.
