Rising violin star Chloe Chua will be performing Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto with the Auckland Philharmonia this Thursday evening. The Singapore-born musician is only 18 years old, but already has an international reputation.
Chua came into the RNZ Auckland studio to speak with RNZ Concert's David Morriss, who asked how she felt about competitions - at the age of 11, she was the joint winner of the 2018 Yehudi Menuhin International Competition for Young Violinists.
"For me, I think the most important competition is to compete with yourself, and also to learn from other musicians... it's kind of like an indirect competition."
