Chamber Music Connects the World, junior
The US-American violist Laura Liu recently earned her Bachelor of Music and continues her studies as a recipient of a Kovner Fellowship at the Juilliard School with Cynthia Phelps and Misha Amory.
She participated in the 74th International Prague Spring Competition, the 5th International Viola Competition in Tokyo, and as a finalist in the Juilliard School Viola Competition, receiving an honorable mention and the Pirastro Prize for outstanding young talent at the 3rd International Oskar Nedbal Viola Competition.
