During studies at UNSW she was selected to perform in a masterclass with guest opera artist, Jessica O'Donoghue, and in 2025 was awarded the UNSW Arts Faculty Prize. Beyond her undergraduate studies Madina will continue her operatic training, with the view to pursuing opportunities overseas. It is her goal to one day perform internationally in the opera houses of Europe, America, Asia and of course Australia.


    Olivia Huang is a classically trained pianist, collaborative accompanist, and music educator based in Sydney. She is currently in her final year of study at the University of New South Wales, specialising in music pedagogy.

    Olivia regularly performs in university recitals and community music events, engaging with a wide range of repertoire from classical to contemporary works, and also has experience in music education, working with piano students in individual learning contexts with a focus on developing musical understanding and expression.
