Julia Sakharova (Russian: Юлия Сахарова) is a professional violinist. A native of Zheleznovodsk, Russia, she debuted at the age of eight with the Moldavian Symphony Orchestra.[1] Her mother was also a musician.[2] By the age of 11, she was already internationally known as a child prodigy due to her skills on the violin; however, she suffered from a cleft palate. A charitable organization in the U.S. state of Iowa raised money for her surgery.[3] At the age of 15, she won the top prize in the International Competition for Music of Eastern and Central Europe; Vladimir Spivakov, the head of the jury, presented her with his bow in addition to the prize.[4] She attended Oberlin College, graduating in 2003 with a major in violin performance; she studied under Milan Vitek while there.[5] That same year, she won sixth prize in the Concours International de Montréal des Jeunesses Musicales; the judges evaluated her performance of the Mendelssohn Concerto as slightly unstable and not entirely accurate.[6] In 2005, she visited Caracas, Venezuela to perform with the National Philharmonic Orchestra there.[1]
