How do you remember last year\u2019s victory?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I remember the moment of last year like yesterday. One year passed so fast. When I was called as 1<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">st<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> prize, I was so happy because I could play once again in gala concert.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I always take two dresses to the competition because I hope to win and to play one more time in gala concert with different dress. So last year, I was so happy to wear another dress that I like.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>What did it bring into your life?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I had a lot of compliments from teachers, conservatory and friends, and it encouraged me to go ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>How did you manage to synchronize with the Pardubice Philharmonic? Did you rehearse together in advance?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, today I had a first rehearsal with them. The members of the Pardubice Philharmonic and maestro were so kind, and I really enjoyed the rehearsal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was not a long rehearsal but I got tired after the rehearsal because I was so concentrated to play.\u00a0 It is my first experience to play whole concerto so I have to keep my energy until the end.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Have you had a similar experience of playing with a large orchestra before?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just two weeks before coming here in Czech, I was in Lithuania, and I played this Mendelssohn concerto with orchestra. But it was only the first movement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I like playing with orchestra and it is always a special moment for me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Your sister also plays the violin, do you sometimes practice together?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes or no&#8230;.there is lots of beautiful music for two violins and we want to play together. But once we start, we always quarrel, who plays the 1<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">st<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> violin, or who made the mistake&#8230;.etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But we will have a concert together in Germany in July, so we practice together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Do you also take part in competitions in France? How would you compare those competitions to the Kocian Violin Competition?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I was little, I took part in competitions in France, but now I take part in other countries because there are not so many competitions in France for the young students.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But Kocian competition was my first time that I &#8216;enjoyed&#8217; participating, it was like a festival, not like competition. I participated to the orchestra, and I could make friends during the ceremony at the city hall, I could listen almost all the other older competitor&#8217;s playing(because usually young category is set at the end of the competition and when we arrive, almost all the competition is finished.)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also I received the presents from Barenreiter, it was the biggest presents that I have received ever. I chose the scores that I wanted(dreamed) to play and they sent me the big box of scores.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0That&#8217;s why this Kocian competition is special for me and I really like it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><br \/>\n<br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The young 2024 laureate, Sora Lavorgna, provided the audience in \u00dast\u00ed with a unique experience.
