Kenny, 25, won the Bronze Medal at The International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow in June. He was the only American to make the finals.
Considered THE competition in the international music community, the International Tchaikovsky Competition began in 1958. The main purpose of the musical competition is revealing new talent. And Kenny’s star has been rising rapidly since then.
