The Liszt Academy’s first Bartók World Competition and Festival was won by a young violinist, the French-Dutch Cosima Soulez Lariviere. She was born in 1996, and has been studying music since she was three years old. Her talent was noted early on, and at the age of eight she was admitted to the Yehudi Menuhin School of England, where she lived for a long time. Currently she studies with Krzysztof Węgrzyn at the Hannover School of Music and Theatre in Germany.

At the Budapest competition she performed chamber pieces by Bartók (Rhapsody No. 2, Sonata No. 1), Mozart’s Violin Concerto in G major, and in the finals, Beethoven’s Violin Concerto. Formerly she was a finalist at the Weimar Spohr Violin Competition, and finished third at the Andrea Postacchini International Violin Competition, where she also received the Bach Prize. She has attended the master classes of Zakhar Bron, Dora Schwarzberg, Lewis Kaplan, Zvi Zeitlin, and Dmitri Berlinsky.
