I should have asked hubby to take a few photos, but neglected to do so. With three back-to-back events Friday evening through Saturday, my brain wasn’t working as well as it should have been. Homestead Community Concerts (part of Homestead Center for the Arts) will close out their season March 22d with Legends of Motown, but on Saturday, they had a very special event. The three top place and two honorable mentions in the first annual Music Scholarship Competition performed at a gathering, followed by dinner. These students ranged from age 12 to 18 and watching them was as good as listening to them. Their stage presence was excellent across the board and one can only imagine what the younger students will be like in a few years.

Two violinists, two cellists, and one pianist demonstrated their talent with classical selections and one unique piece which was a number composed by the student’s mother. Both of his parents are composers and professors at the Frost School of Music. Not surprisingly, all the students began playing when they were quite young and their devotion to music was evident in the confidence they displayed. Perhaps there were errors that a trained musician might have heard, but for the rest of us, it was delightful to listen to them play. (http://www.homesteadconcerts.com)
