Hilton High School junior Luke Pisani recently participated in the Young Artist Auditions, an annual competition sponsored by the Rochester Philharmonic League since 1955. A violinist, Luke won both the Aldridge-Tinker Scholarship for Instrumentalists and the Grand Prize – the opportunity to perform in concert with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. Luke was last year’s winner of the Ruth and Sidney Salzman Award for Strings.
The Young Artist Auditions encourages and acknowledges the accomplished musicianship of high school age students. It includes five winner awards of $500 each, $200 to runners-up, two Scholarships of $1,000 each and a Grand Prize: the opportunity to perform in concert with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. The awards are open to young musicians in grades 10 through 12 from the nine-county region surrounding Rochester.
