Four violinists and one pianist from the Zakhar Bron School of Music won three first prizes and two second prizes at the regional Zurich Music Competition 2025, which took place last weekend in Zurich.
In the Violin Solo category, four ZBSM students were awarded top prizes:
All of the above young violinists study in the class of Inna Khriplovich.
A special mention goes to Katharina Filimonova and Aurea Wang, who achieved the maximum possible score of 60 out of 60 — an exceptional result.
In the Piano Solo category, Maya Nikolic (piano class of Tatyana Samoylova) was awarded 2nd Prize in the first age group.
Maya has been taking piano lessons at ZBSM for only one year, and this competition marked her very first appearance at a music competition. Achieving such a result at a debut competition is an outstanding accomplishment.
