Welcome to the fourth installment of highlights from the BMC 2021 award competitions.  Today, we are proud to introduce the winners of the BMC High School Winds & Percussion Competition honoring Nicholas Bussard. Thanks to your interest and support, BMC continues to reward our community’s young musicians who strive for musical excellence!

As mother of two BMC award-winning daughters, coordinator Lizanne Shader knows the impact BMC’s work has on talented youth. She brought passion, generosity and enthusiasm to this year’s endeavor, as well as exceptional skills needed to hold a virtual competition! Lizanne was delighted to welcome Yaniv Attar as adjudicator. Praising the young competitors, Maestro Attar wrote, “It is really heartwarming to see and hear you all play music so beautifully. You should all be proud of the work you have done! I congratulate you all – keep it up!”

With those accolades, we proudly introduce the winners of the BMC 2021 High School Winds & Percussion Competition:
1st place: Orly Lindner, oboe
2nd place: Erin Lin, oboe
3rd place: Byanca Holguin, flute
