Pinchas Zuckerman, an 18-year-old Israeli violinist, was named one of the two first prize-winners in the 25th International Competition of the Edgar M. Leventritt Foundation. The other first prize-winner was Kyung Wha Chung, a 19-year-old violinist from Korea. They will each get the full $1,000 prize money and bookings with leading American symphony orchestras.
Mr. Zuckerman, who began playing violin at the age of 8, has held a scholarship from the American-Israel Cultural Foundation since he was 9. Two other finalists, Sergiu Luca, a Rumanian-born Israeli, 24, and Nejma Succari, 27, of Syria, will each receive $500, and symphony appearances will be arranged for them.
