We with to thank Oksana Ezhokina, Robert Satterlee, and Regina Yeh for their outstanding service and expert reviews of the many wonderful participants of this year’s event. We would like to also congratulate each of the participants and their teachers for preparing so well and representing the music of this most deserving of composers. Thank you also to our volunteers, namely Caleb and Tasha Mok, Yingzi Le and Esenih Camai as well as Nile and Alex Camai. Thanks so much especially to Laura Jeon and Samuel Byun for spearheading the coordination of the event.
Lastly, it is our pleasure to announce the award winners of the 2014 Bach Festival. Due to the fact that the SIPF’s website is undergoing a makeover, the results will not be posted there for some time. We can, however, announce them here.
