Young pianists from South Korea, China and Czechia received prizes after Saturday afternoon concerto performances.
In the nine-day process, 23 competitors from countries including Japan and the United States were narrowed to the three finalists. Competitors were chosen via video auditions from 248 applicants from 44 countries. Winners in each round were selected by a nine-person jury of concert pianists and teachers chaired by Janina Fialkowska.
Pianist Jan Schulmeister shakes hands with Dallas Symphony Orchestra associate concertmaster Emmanuelle Boisvert following his final round performance. Playing the Rachmaninoff Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Hong supplied the edgiest tone of the afternoon and made the greatest show of virtuosity. But while that virtuosity audibly excited the Meyerson audience, he pushed some faster variations a bit faster than the orchestra could comfortably manage. Slower variations could be prosaic.
