Students from around the world competed. Lumina, who recently turned ten years old, has other accomplishments. She performed in Carnegie Recital Hall this past May because she won two competitions sponsored by the Piano Teachers Society of America. One of these competitions required her to perform five pieces for memory, one of which had three separate movements.
