A Message From Maran Scott OPYO 2016 Concerto Competition Winner & Soloist
“ The song is in the heart, and there are many ways of making music.”-Charles and Ruby Treadway [ A Song in the Heart ]
“ It was one of the most inspiring moments of my life to get up and play the Allegro Moderato from Haydn’ s Concerto No. 2 in G Major with YSO last spring! It was such a tribute to my music teachers that I went from playing in the 2015 Concerto Competition with almost zero confidence and a lack of enthusiasm to winning the 2016 competition and performing solo— I could hardly believe it! Er-gene Kahng brought out my intonation and musicality, while David Barg brought out my inner personality and motivation— I couldn’ t have done it without them! I am so excited about this year’ s winner and can’ t wait to play their concerto with the Ozark Philharmonic Youth Orchestras!”
