Congratulations to Max Lundgren for winning the YPSCA Competition sponsored by the Minnesota Orchestra. Max acquired his cello by Daniele Scolari, Cremona, 2006 from us and it had a glorious sound that was refined, expressive and powerful. He will be performing with the Minnesota Orchestra next year as part of the grand prize.

We are pleased that cellist John Belk was awarded the $600 Givens Violins Prize at the YPSCA Competition Finals.
