Congratulations to the winner of the Young Musicians Contest, Miranda Isbitts!

Born in Clearwater, Florida, Miranda began studying violin at the age of 5. She has been a student of Indiana Professor Mimi Zweig since 2018. Throughout high school, she has performed many solo and ensemble works across several states with the Violin Virtuosi of the Jacob’s School of Music. At 13 years old, Miranda twice performed as a soloist with The Florida Orchestra after winning the grand prize in their young artist competition. She went on to study full-time at the IU String Academy and has won numerous competitions in the state. In the fall, Miranda placed first in the Sherer International Violin and Piano Competition. She also performed as a soloist with the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra in August. Her Gand and Bernardel violin is generously on loan from The Friedman Family.

The Side-by-Side experience was just magnificent. The musical environment was spectacular! Entering into Side-by-Side really gave me an experience that was unforgettably remarkable I learned many new things which were quite beneficial and will definitely help me out in the long run for my musical career that of viola performance! All in all I couldn't ask for more what a remarkable and memorable time I had, thank you to all the ISO mentors they did their amazing job in bettering us and structuring us musically!
