MTACSD CONCERTO COMPETITION with live auditions a success!
Congratulations to all participants and their teachers who entered the 2022 MTACSD Concerto Competition! I am indebted to Jay Jay Lim, Lee Galloway and Greene Music for all of their support and assistance in making these auditions “live”; Dana Burnett, Chetan Tierra, and Jane Masur who generously helped me with audition monitoring duties, and some fabulous parents who assisted me as well! Thank you, of course, to our adjudicators for their time and expertise. Their bios are at the end of this article.
