Last weekend we worked with four amazing young soloists in the final of our ERSO Soloist of the Year competition. We had to make the hardest decision in all of the years of the competition as all four Finalists were fabulous and worthy of performing their concerti. In the end we decided we simply couldn’t have only one winner – so students Emily Ambrose (bassoon) and Basil Alter (violin) are our joint winners of the 2025 Soloist of the Year!
We are so excited to work with Basil on Korngold’s Violin Concerto for our October 19 2025 concert and with Emily on Hummel’s bassoon concerto for our June 21 2026 concert. Save the dates in your diaries!
