Violinist Sara Isabelle Ispas has secured top honors at two consecutive international competitions.

In late August 2026, Ispas won the grand prize at the 34th “Città di Vittorio Veneto” violin competition in Italy. Performing Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D major with the Orchestra del Teatro La Fenice, she received a unanimous decision from the jury. The win included an 8,000 euro award and performance opportunities at institutions such as Teatro La Scala and La Fenice.

Following this, Ispas won the eighth edition of the CullerArts International Violin Competition in Cullera, Spain. She again performed Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D major, this time accompanied by the Orquestra de València, to secure first place in a field of 50 musicians from 23 countries.
