10 April - Junior-Finalists announced

After a first round with probably the highest level of playing ever heard in the Junior Section, eight outstanding young violinists have been selected from a first round of 20 competitors to go forward to the Menuhin Competition’s Junior Finals, to be held on Friday 13 April at the concert hall of the Middle School associated with the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing. Our Junior Finalists are:

Grace Clifford (Australia)
Yehun Jin (Korean)
Angela Wee (American)
Ayana Tsuji (Japan)
Taiga Tojo (Japan)

Kevin Zhu (American)
Soo-Been Lee (Korean)
Alina Ming Kobialka (American)

The Junior Finals will take place in two sessions. In the first, competitors will perform one virtuoso work of their own choice with or without piano, and the newly commissioned work ‘Entranced with Mountain Scenery’. In the second session, each finalist will play and direct a movement of Vivaldi’s ‘The Four Seasons’.

The Junior-Finals will be web-streamed live and are afterwards available as video on demand for audiences in different timezones.
