She played Sibelius' Violin Concerto in D-Minor in the finals round, and, for her interpretation of the Bach Sonata No. 3 ("Fugue"), she received the Howard Beebe String Award for Solo Bach Performance. Atar Arad, Stephen Clapp, and Norman Fischer served as judges for the string division. Ui-Youn told a reporter for the Corpus Christi Caller Times that she missed her parents and intended to return to Korea soon for a visit. “It's my mom's birthday, and this will be a good present,” she said.
