After a long wait, the audience again took their seats in Bass Hall to hear the who the winners of the Van Cliburn Competition are. So, here are the jury’s decisions:
Gold: Haochen Zhang, Nobuyuki TsujiiSilver: Yeol Eum SonCrystal: not awarded
Steven De Groote Memorial Award for the Best Performance(s) of Chamber Music: Evgeni Bozhanov, Yeol Eum Son
Beverley Taylor Smith Award for the Best Performance of a New Work: Nobuyuki TsujiiJury Discretionary Awards: Alessandro Deljavan, Lukas Vondracek, Eduard KunzAudience vote: Mariangela Vacatello
The jury vote was cummulative assessment after every round. I only heard the final round, but still came sort of close.
