Young Concert Artists Winners Announced Image

The First Prize Winners of the 2018 Young Concert Artists International Auditions are:

22-year-old American violinist Randall Goosby

17-year-old Japanese violinist Risa Hokamura

15-year-old American pianist Maxim Lando

22-year-old Chinese pianist Aristo Sham

22-year-old Danish/American cellist Jonathan Swensen

The Young Concert Artists International Auditions differ from a competition, as there are no rankings, and any number of winners can be selected - with each candidate competing against a standard of excellence, not each other.

These young musicians will join the roster of Young Concert Artists, a nonprofit founded in 1961, which provides management services, concert engagements including debuts in New York and at the Kennedy Center in Washington, publicity and career guidance.
