SFCM Youth Chamber Music Competition

The winners of the 2009/2010 SFCM Youth Chamber Music Competition were The Marannine Trio consisting of flutist Joanna Wu, a senior at Jamesville-DeWitt High School; flutist Katherine Zhang, a junior at Fayetteville-Manlius High School; and cellist Marza Wilks, a senior at Ithaca High School. Their coach was Syracuse Symphony cellist Gregory Wood.

The judges were Syracuse Symphony Orchestra Music Director Daniel Hege and SSO violist Li Li.

The Trio opened the final concert of our 2009/2010 season by beautifully playing all 3 movements of Haydn's "London" Trio No. 3 in G Major, Hob. IV. Well-deserved warm and sustained applause showed the audience's appreciation.

The background music is an MP3 clip of the opening on the 3rd movement of Shostakovich's String Quartet No. 3 in F major, Op.73 played by the Fitzwilliam String Quartet. This work will be played for us by the Pacifica Quartet at the first concert of our 2010/2011 season.
