Two sisters Carmel Valley received awards at the world music competition

Two Carmel Valley students, sisters and violinists, recently won awards at the King’s Peak International Music Competition 2023 (KPIMC), an online global music competition, in Group B (ages 8-10).

The sisters are Gianna Chen, a 5th grade student at Solana Pacific Elementary School, and Julia Chen, a 3rd grade student at Carmel Creek Elementary School. Gianna placed second in her division and Julia placed third in her division (she is the youngest winner in her division).

The King’s Peak International Music Competition “seeks to inspire classical musicians by offering competitions, events and educational opportunities as they build their resumes/careers,” according to its website https://kingspeakmusiccompetition.com/.

The Chen sisters began learning to play the violin online at the same time in the summer of 2020 under the guidance of their violin teacher Tingtin Wang.
