Music festivals and competitions of 2010

The 2010 Kiwanis Musical Festival of Greater Toronto took place in February. Our students greatly contributed to its quality with impressive results. We had a total of 22 Gold and 5 Silver and quite remarkable placements: one Best in Class, six First Places, six Second Places, five Third Places.

The 2010 ORMTA Spring Auditions took place in April. All Debut Piano Students qualified for the Honours Recital and Chester won the Ann Hulbert Award with the highest mark of 92. He will perform next in the GTA Zone Competitions as representative of the Scarborough Branch.

The Mandarin Lions Music Festival took place in April, as well. All our four participants (Hailey, Nathan, Nicole and Timothy) received a total of five 1st, three 2nd, and one 3rd placements, the champion being Timothy (three 1st and one 2nd). Both Timothy and Hailey played concerts and were commended by the judge for their musicality.

Timothy also participated in the Yips Music Festival, Richmond Hill Music Festival and Markham Music Festival. In all he scored excellent results (two 1st Place and two 2nd Place in Yip's, one 2nd and one 3rd in Richmond Hill's and two 1st and one 2nd in Markham's). In addition, he made it into the 2010 Honour Roll of the Markham Music Festival and received a trophy and scholarship.

A word of thanks and many congratulations to all our participants for their exceptional performances in various competitions and festivals!
