    Awarded 4th prize at the recent Queen Elisabeth, in the most shocking ranking at any competition in recent history. His career will be more illustrious than the five most recent 1st prize winners.
    And to boot, he won’t need a clownish social media presence (to bandage a brutal tone).

    Undeniably, an outstanding violinist. The previous winner of 2019 is also wonderful, and much deserving. They will each have brilliant careers.

    Sadly there are so many competitions to keep track with. QE was once the gold standard for violin.
