Only one Zakhar Bron student survives in Shanghai
mainIt looks like the Shanghai Isaac Stern violin competition could be cleaning up its act.
In a jury dominated by Zakhar Bron and his cohort Maxim Vengerov, only one of Bron’s seven candidates has made it to the semi-finals.
UPDATE: It seems Vengerov has not yet landed in Shanghai.
Zakhar’s last hope is the Russian-born Greek violinist Arsenis Selalmazidis.
The remaining contestants are:
Diana Tishchenko, Ukraine, 28,
Alex Zhou, US, 17
Chang Yuan Ting, Canada, 18
Nancy Zhou, US, 25
Olga Šroubková, Czech, 25
Quanshuai Li, China, 27
Jia Yi Chen, China, 22
Sophia Su, US, 17
Yige Chen, China, 18
Yurina Arai, Japan, 24
Yun Tang, China, 26
