The Ukrainian violinist Dmytro Udovychenko won the Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels shortly after midnight.The first prize is worth 25,000 Euros.
Second and third places went to Americans – Joshua Brown (20k) and Elli Choi(17k).
Udovychenko, 24, has previously won in Montreal and Singapore.
Spectators inform us that he went around shaking the hands of all the judges – except for the Russian, V Vadim Repin. Such is the current state of musical courtesy.
UPDATE: And here’s the picture.
Dmytro Udovychenko gets to play the ‘Huggins’ 1708 Stradivarius on a four-year loan from the Nippon Music Foundation.
