Yulianna Avdeeva
The International Chopin Piano Competition only comes around once every five years. Pianists practice for years just to earn the right to compete. Russian pianist Yulianna Avdeeva was 25 when she took home the gold medal in the 2010 Chopin Competition. Today, we'll get a chance to meet her. She plays music by Chopin and Bach in the PT studios.
