Vidovi\u0107 was in the jury alongside maestro Marc Moncus from Barcelona, pianist Sabrina Dente from Italy, pianist and organist Christoph Ewers from Germany, and pianist and director Pierre-Laurent Boucharlat from France. Throughout the week, there were excellent and brilliant interpretations in the Masters category, and in one day, the commission listened to Juniors, Teenagers and those in the &#8216;Challengers&#8217; category.<\/p>\n<p>The most difficult task was in the finals, when three great young Japanese pianists were on stage with the Amplitude Orchestra from Paris, each of them interpreting the Piano Concertos by E. Grieg, F. Chopin (no. 1 in E minor) and the Third Concerto by L. van Beethoven each of them in their own superb way.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, the jury chose the interpretation of Edward Grieg&#8217;s Piano Concerto in A minor and with that also chose the winner among the three stars, twenty-four-year-old Shion Ota.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crown.salamander-studios.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IvanaMarijaVidovic_Provence_Jury2024-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"731\" border=\"0\" align=\"Baseline\"\/><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">Ivana Marija Vidovi\u0107 with Saya Ota, Japan, winner of the third prize.<\/div>\n<p>The second prize went to the superb and sublime performance of the First Concerto in E minor for Piano and Orchestra by F.
