Thanks for posting this information. Exciting to look at the names and nationalities. I saw "our" (violinist.com's) Yura Lee on the list. Ooh, congrats to Yura! I'm curious to know if others recognize other names, and from where. Hope other members look at this list and comment.

Many people from the 2006 Indianapolis are listed -- notably Laureates Yura Lee and Ye-Eun Choi, along with Semi-finalists Jinjoo Cho, Ryoko Yano, Zhijiong Wang, and Stephanie Jeong. Others in this list who played the Prelims but didn't advance at the 2006 Indianapolis are David Coucheron, Dalibor Karvay, Pettari Iivonen, Yusuke Hayashi, and Eunice Keem. I have to give a special shout out for Robin Scott, a native Indianapolis kid who I've watched grow up. He won a major prize at the Menuhin last year. Hoping he does well at the QE!
