A musician from P.E.I. is included on CBC Music’s classical “30 under 30” list for the first time.
While it’s not the first time tuba player Olive McPhail has been featured at a national level, McPhail says the news was hard to believe.
“I really didn’t expect to be featured among some of the best musicians in Canada,” McPhail said.
Once their sense of “imposter syndrome” passed, McPhail, 23, was thrilled to tell everyone.
“It’s really been nice to receive recognition for an instrument that isn’t always in the spotlight,” McPhail said.
Marking its 10th anniversary this year, the list celebrates the accomplishments of Canada’s top young classical musicians.
