We had a surprise visit today from violinist Randall Goosby, who is the soloist with the Pittsburgh Symphony this weekend! He stopped in to play some of Mr. Injeian's violins. It was such a pleasure to hear him play and to spend some time with him.

Congratulations to Hyun Jae Lim of South Korea, the first place winner of the 2026 Elmar Oliveira International Violin Competition! Her prize package includes $30,000 cash, a new violin made by Phillip Injeian, a gold-mounted bow made by Vladimir Radosavljevic, an Alexander Plus carbon violin case, and guaranteed engagements, concerts and recitals around the world over the next three years.

There were over 70 applicants for the 2026 EOIVC, but what makes Hyun Jae Lim's victory even more impressive is that she was severely injured and paralyzed in a car accident in 2020. Her long recovery prevented her from resuming her violin training until June 2024, and now, just 18 months later, she took first place in this prestigious international competition! There is no doubt that this young violinist is destined for a great career, and her new Phillip Injeian violin will be right there beside her.

We had a special visitor at the violin shop today! Mr. Injeian's dear friend, Andres Cardenes, stopped by to have some maintenance done on his Phillip Injeian Opus 123 violin. Mr. Cardenes was the concertmaster of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra for over 20 years, and he was also the head of the string department at Carnegie Mellon University. Currently, he is the distinguished artist-in-residence at Lynn University in Boca Raton, FL, where he is spearheading the Elmar Oliveira International Violin Competition taking place at the university in January 2026. (The first-place winner of the competition will receive a handmade Phillip Injeian violin as part of the prize package.) It's always an honor and pleasure when such an amazingly gifted musician, teacher, and friend like Mr. Cardenes visits us!
