We are beyond thrilled to announce that 4-year-old Michael Girgis from Montgomery County is one of the youngest pianists to perform twice at the legendary stage of Carnegie Hall!

Michael is a sweet 4-year-old boy whose passion was discovered at the age of three and a half when he joined Elena’s Music studio. His extraordinary talent, perfect pitch and hard work combined with passion to piano have earned him recognition by top international competition contests.

In a record time of just 6 months Michael received two First Prizes at Charleston International Music Competition; became First Prize winner at New York Debut Awards and First prize winner at American Protégé International Piano and Strings Competition 2026. As a winner Michael was invited to perform at the Winner’s recital at Carnegie Hall twice this summer.

Michael is scheduled to perform at Montgomery County Music Teacher Association Recital on April, 25, Elena’s studio Annual Spring Recital on May, 18, and Weill’s Winner’s recital at Carnegie
Hall on May, 31 and July,14.
