Carmel Creek first-grader Julia Chen finished third place among violinists in her age group in the King’s Peak International Music Competition for spring 2021, which features classical music and is open to all musicians around the world.
The competition was held virtually. Julia submitted a recording of herself playing Minuet No. 3 by Johann Sebastian Bach, with background music playing from a computer.
Julia’s father, Renkun Chen, said she began taking virtual violin lessons last June so she could “have more activities” as the COVID-19 pandemic canceled and restricted many extra-curricular activities.
