Violet Li and Amanda Jin Win Piano Competition

Violet Li (Class of 2016) and Amanda Jin (Class of 2018) won at the competition at Texas Wesleyan University in Fort Worth. The competition is a celebration of young pianists and the skilled collaboration between two such performers, and duo-piano playing is defined as performing music specifically composed for a player at each of two pianos. The repertoire chosen for the festival was originally conceived, arranged or transcribed for the duo-piano genre and could not exceed a maximum performance length of seven minutes. Their performance of the 2nd movement of Mozart Sonata in D major, K. 448 for two pianos was exceptional and recognized by the judges. In addition to receiving certificates for their first-place finish, the girls also received a cash prize.
