On Sunday, March 2nd, 2014 at 7 pm we held the 60th Annual Young Musicians Competition. The competition finals were held in the Koerner Hall, Vancouver Academy of Music, 1270 Chestnut Street, Vancouver (Kits Point). It featured groups of young musicians playing chamber music pieces up to 10 minutes long.
Music by composers Ludwig van Beethoven (piano trio), Astor Piazzolla (piano trio), Franz Schubert (string quartet), Johannes Brahms (piano quartet & piano trio), Edvard Grieg (string quartet), Eugene Bozza (saxophone quartet), Felix Mendelssohn (piano trio), and David Maslanka (saxophone quartet) were heard.
Audience members, chose who received the Audience Prize of $500 for a junior group (up to 18) and $500 for a senior group (up to 26). The rest of the prizes were decided by our adjudicator, Joan Blackman, associate concertmaster of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. She decided which groups received $5,000 worth of prizes, provided by the Friends of Chamber Music, who also put on the event.
We hope you had a chance to see young talented musicians play together before possibly starting a career in music and we look forward to the talent next year will bring. Congratulations to all prize winners!
