The 17th Competition Strings Division was a great success with wonderful performances.

The 17th Cecilia International Music Competition Strings Division was a great success with wonderful performances.
Thank you to all the participants and to the judges who took the time to review.

Aaron Liu from South Korea, who came in 1st place, gave a powerful performance that made the entire hall resonate.
It was a wonderful stimulus to the Japanese music world, which tends to be docile by speculating about those around them.

Everyone else also played a very difficult piece with rich musicality, and the stringed instrument junior high school division closed the curtain in a wonderful level.
Thank you.
