Apply for 13th Annual New York Music Competition

Week of February 22, 2010 Issue 5

The YWCA of Queens in collaboration with the Korea Daily News, presents the 13th Annual New York Music Competition. The competition, originally called the New York Music Festival, was established in 1998 to promote youth's appreciation of music and to give an opportunity for young people to showcase their musical talents. With the help of Bo Young Lee from the New York Korean Cultural Center, the first piano contest, totalling 74 contestants from the age of seven, began.
With community support, the competition has matured and now features piano, violin, and cello performances. Winners have had the privilege of performing their pieces at Weill Recital Hall in Carnegie Hall. The YWCA looks forward to the fresh talent in this year's competition.
