In March 2013, Victoria Young was one of four prize winners in the 8th J.S. Bach International Piano Competition in Würzburg, Germany, competing against pianists 36 years old and under. The 13 year old was the youngest and the second American prizewinner in the history of the competition. We're delighted to welcome Victoria to WFMT. (Host David Polk)
