Concerto Competition

The Alan and Joyce Beucher
Concerto Competition  - 2013

Results:

The auditions were held on Monday, January 28th 2013, in the Concert Hall of the Mahaney Center for the arts.

The winner is Zitong Jia, who played Scaramouche, by Darius Milhaud, on the saxophone.

The field was very strong, and discussions continued for quite a long time. Eventually the decision of the judges was unanimous.

Judges were David Neiweem, member of the University of Vermont Music Department faculty, vocalist and choral director; and Hilary Hatch, violinist and violist with the Vermont Symphony Orchestra.
