The International Tchaikovsky Competition is one of the most important in the world and the winners of each of its categories – piano, cello, violin and voice – go on to become some of the world's biggest musical stars.
Right here on Thursday we gave you the chance to watch the winners of each category of the competition perform with the Mariinsky Orchestra and conductor Valery Gergiev, live from Moscow.

The programme for the evening features music by Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Sibelius, Rossini, Puccini… and, of course, Tchaikovsky.
The winner of the piano category, which has launched the careers of the likes of Peter Donohoe and Vladimir Ashkenazt, was Russian Dmitry Masleev. The cello category was won by Romanian cellist Andrei Ioniță while the violin silver medal (no gold was awarded) was taken by Yu-Chien Tseng from Taiwan.
