Justin Kim, a Ridgefield High School (RHS) ninth grader, and Jayden Kim, a sixth grader at East Ridge Middle School, both won first place in the Elite International Music Competition for their solo performances and together won first place for their duet performance.
This is the third time these talented brothers won the opportunity to play at Carnegie Hall for the winners' recital, which took place on Jan 12. Congratulations!
