A 9-year-old Bulgarian girl from Montana has brought glory to the country at a piano competition in Singapore. Young pianists from Thailand, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Greece, Japan, China, Indonesia and India were among the participants. 

According to the girl's teacher Nina Petrova, Siyana Burghart loves to play the piano. In 2023, Siyana participated in 14 national and international competitions and attended singing lessons, as well. She probably inherited her music talent from her German father, who also used to play the piano.
