This past Saturday was the annual OMTA Concerto Competition. Seven of our wonderful studio pianists entered, and I’m so happy to report, EVERY SINGLE ONE of them received recognition from the judges! Hooray! Over 50 young pianists entered from the Olympia area. Here are the results:
Elementary: Gavin, HM, for Celebration! Concerto by L.F. Olson
Upper Intermediate: Calvin, HM, for Concerto Bravo by K. Olson; Luke, HM, for Blues Concerto by E. Rocherolle; Sky, FIRST PRIZE, for A. Asch Concertino
Advanced A: Chloe, SECOND PRIZE for Concerto in D Minor by J.S. Bach
Advanced B: Lilia, SECOND PRIZE for Ravel’s Concerto in G; Megan, HM for “Warsaw Concerto” by Addinsell
I love these pictures! From L-R: Gavin’s first concerto fest, 2017 concerto fest, and this year’s competition where he received an HM! I don’t think I’m shrinking….
The three musketeers of Upper Intermediate….this is where they are (nervously) awaiting the judges.
Sky received 1st prize! Luke and Calvin received an Honorable Mention each! Congratulations!
Megan played the “Warsaw Concerto” & Lilia, Ravel’s G Major. Here they are waiting for the results.
Megan receives Honorable Mention, and Lilia receives 2nd prize! Now they are ready to relax!
