We congratulate the participants and their teachers of the Classical Viennese Festival that took place last weekend. As organizers, we feel that the selections of the festival’s required works is an important part of the repertoire that is underrepresented in competitive events. We salute the teachers who prepared their students so well and commend them for continuing to do so.
We also thank our adjudicators, Natalya Ageyeva, Jane Harty, and William Chapman Nyaho for their exemplary service. Also, we thank our volunteers, Caleb and Tasha Mok, Ivan Penev, and especially our coordinators, Samuel Byun and Chelsea Bloomberg.
We are pleased to announce the results of the festival:
