Winners announced for first-ever statewide Student Concerto Competition

...the first-ever statewide Student Concerto Competition sponsored by the Utah Wind Symphony and Legacy Music Alliance (the latter led by businessman Gaylen Rust and Dr. Craig Jessop, dean of the Caine College of the Arts at USU and former director of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir).

...winners in the competition who will receive a $1,500 scholarship include...Adam Snider, tuba, University of Utah, at the collegiate level...

A total of $11,000 was awarded.

Competition participants were required to submit a DVD recording video from a list of musical works. Finalists were then selected for a live audition held in late January and from that group, scholarship winners were chosen by a panel of judges.

.

Congratulations, Adam!

Thanks, Steve! I was a finalist, but won't be performing a concerto with the ensemble. As it happens, though, I'm subbing with the group for the concert, so I'll be playing anyway!
