Chopin Festival was LIVE this year on June 18, 2022. It was a beautiful Saturday to host our most talented young musicians in our community at the gorgeous First Presbyterian Church of San Diego sanctuary. The continuous high quality of music making from our wonderful 37 performers really inspired us all.
Thank you to the participating teachers who continue to educate and motivate your students:
Eunji Bae, Irina Bendetsky, Magdolna Bornemisza, Jessie Chang, Sun Yung Cho, Chaling Huynh, Anthony Do-Hoon Kim, Shuang Li, Inessa Litvin, Yu Carole Liu, Rinna Livshin, Vera Lukomsky, Viktor Shekhtman, Elaine Tokman, Gill Tsai, Mei Yin, Dan Yu, Jia Sheng Zhou
We were so very honored to have three prestigious judges: Ethan Yi Dong, Wojciech Kocyan, and Kevin Kwan Loucks. They have selected the top three winners in three divisions. Winners were presented the crystal trophies at the courtyard reception immediately after the judges’ deliberation. The judges valuable comments have been emailed to all participating teachers.
