During the next four years he performed regularly as a soloist for school concerts and major events throughout the state of Georgia (U.S.S.R.). Sandler was first prize winner at the State Competition for young performers at age 16 and played Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky and Mozart violin concertos with the Tbilisi Symphony Orchestra.

Sandler moved to the United States with his family in 1979 and began studies with Dorothy Delay at the Juilliard School under full scholarship.
