2020 Finalists Showcase
In 2020, we were unfortunately forced to cancel the final round of the competition due to the outbreak of COVID-19. Several of the finalists graciously agreed to share their preliminary-round videos, allowing us to create the following “virtual showcase” of some of our finalists performing the pieces they had intended to perform for the adjudicating panel.
