A 3-year-old from Ridgefield is
preparing to perform at the famed Carnegie Hall following an international win.
Brigitte Xie has only been playing
piano for less than a year. Three months into learning the instrument, she won
an international competition.
Brigitte’s father,
Joe Xie, tells News 12 his daughter was the youngest winner.
"She's just
full of energy all the time…she never took a nap,” says Xie. “During the
daytime, she always wants to do something and especially when we are working
from home nowadays and if she doesn't have anything to do, she just goes and
plays piano.”
The toddler started with virtual lessons
and transitioned to in-person lessons with award-wining teacher Felicia Zhang
in Greenwich.
Zhang believes Brigitte, who turns
4 in two weeks, has a very bright future ahead of her.
