Angela Fuller Wins Irving M. Klein Competition
Alisa Weilerstein awarded Avery Fisher career grant
The 15th annual Irving M. Klein International String Competition, held June 10–11, 2000, at San Francisco State University, awarded its $10,000 first prize to Angela Fuller, a 23-year-old violinist from Birmingham, Alabama. Second ($2,000) was awarded to Yoon-Jung Cho, a 17-year-old violinist from Seoul, South Korea, and third ($1,000) went to Jun Jensen, a 22-year-old cellist from Aalborg, Denmark.
Alisa Weilerstein, cello student at the Cleveland Institute of Music, received one of the three Avery Fisher Career Grants presented this year (the other two went to clarinetists). Each grant of $15,000 is intended to assist a talented, American instrumentalist in furthering a solo career.
Cellist Genevieve G. Chow and violinist Edith Emily Hines were selected as U.S. Presidential Scholars in the Arts. This program recognizes distinguished graduating seniors who demonstrate exceptional talent in the arts. Chow, from San Francisco, plans to study music at Yale University; Hines, from Kalamazoo, Michigan, plans to pursue violin performance at the Cleveland Institute of Music.
