January has been very eventful for our students!
Ella Tran! The Grand Prize winner for piano of the Collin County Young Artist Competition, she will play Rachmaninoff Concerto no. 3, mvt. 3 with the Plano Symphony on March 19 at 8:00 at the Eisemann Center. Something that I find extra special about this is how for at least 6 years, she has given excellent performances at this competition each year but hasn’t received the grand prize til now.

Ella also won the top prize for Symphonic Festival, senior concerto division, taking home a nice cash prize. :)
Victoria Han! The sole Grand Prize winner of the Lewisville Lake Vernell Gregg Competition, she will perform the complete Schumann concerto with the Lewisville Lake Symphony on February 11. For tickets, see https://www.lewisvillesymphony.org/copy-of-tickets
Tony Lu! He won both the Texas and South-Central divisions of MTNA, junior division (ages 11-14). He is one of 7 national finalists! Looking forward to nationals!
We would also like to congratulate: Kiana Sharp, Kenny Hu, Emma Oba, Dabin Lee, and Ella Tran for winning first place in their respective divisions at Symphonic Festival. Incredible work guys!
