2021 Goodlin Virtual Festival Results & Acknowledgement

Congratulations and a big thank-you to all of the students, teachers, and families who participated in the 2021 H. B. Goodlin Virtual Festival! We received a total of 102 student applications for this event.

Each applicant prepared and recorded their instrumental performances on video for this virtual festival. It is our hope that preparing and polishing the audition pieces, filming their own performances, and submitting the online program applications were all valuable learning experiences for the participants.

I would like to acknowledge the participating studios, who continued to teach remotely most of this school year and despite the ongoing pandemic continued to educate and inspire these talented music students in San Diego:

Eunice Ahn, Ning An, Magdi Bornemisza, Dana Burnett, Chia-Ling Chien, Sun Yung Cho, Jan Coleman, Hernan Constantino, Joseph Cota, Susan Culbertson, Ethan Dong, David Garrett, Berta Godkin, Angelina Hardy, Eleanor Hum, Chaling Huynh, Philip Lim, Inessa Litvin, Yu Carole Liu, Rinna Livshin, Pamela Martchev, Brenda Martin, Elena Mashkovtseva, George Maxman, Alexander Mirolyan, Jared Nepute, Alexander Palamidis, Anna Savvas, Viktor Shekhtman, Seiran Sohn, Chetan Tierra, Michael Tseitlin, Luba Ugorski, Stanley Wang, Yun-Yin Wu, Angela Xing, Ariel Yang, Elena Yarritu, Mei Yin, Dan Yu, Tingting Zhang, and Yao Zhao

We were fortunate to have the following distinguished adjudicators for this event. These judges worked long hours to review each video performance, and wrote thoughtful comments on how our students can grow artistically:

Annie Bosler, Sarah Chan, Andrea Garreffa, Maya Ginsberg, Gail Lew, Laszlo Mezo, Derek Polischuk, Jay Posteraro, Dmitry Rachmanov, Ulli Reiner, Philip Tyler, and Bryan Verhoye

Finally, I would like to thank the H. B. Goodlin Scholarship Foundation Board President Jaclyn Summers, and the Board Members Sun Yung Cho, Connie Gale, Lee Galloway, Brian Goral, and Hua Wang, for making this event happen. A special thanks goes to Dr. J. Mitzi Kolar for her expertise and wisdom, and Lea Schmidt-Rogers for always being there for us.

Thank you again for your participation in this year’s Goodlin Virtual Festival. The judges’ comments will be emailed to each participant within the next few weeks. We hope to see you again next year.
