In 1st place Mayu Kishima giving a heartfelt and authorative renditon of the Butterfly Lover’s Concerto
In 2nd place
Sergei Dogadin giving his crisp and powerful performance of Paganini’s Caprice 20 & 21
In 3rd place
Taiwanese violinist Sirena Huang giving a delicate performance of Mozart’s Violin Concerto No.5 in G major
I was actually disappointed that Sirena Huang only came in at 3rd place as I’m a big fan of her flawless and effortless technique on the violin. But it was Mayu Kishima who brought the house down with consistently sensitive and heartfelt renditions of the various pieces showcased, it was without a doubt her turn to shine.
