The Jury of the 5th Annual Concerto Audition, has been presented annually since 2017 and was led this year by DC Strings Orchestra Music Director & Conductor Dr. Juan Gallastegui. The committee has deliberated and made several announcements regarding this year’s concerto audition.

This year’s Concerto Audition winners are violinist Sumin Lee and pianist Anne Valerie Ter. They will receive a scholarship prize and perform with the orchestra as part of the orchestra’s 6th Season beginning in September 2021.

Honorable mentions go to cellist Amelia Baisden and violinist Zoe Yang who will perform with the orchestra later in the 6th season.

Congratulations to all the winners and concerto audition participants!
