Tilles Center Selects Six Summer '00 Tilles
Scholars
August 4, 2000 -- Following competitive auditions, Tilles
Center for the Performing Arts has designated six young Long
Island music students as Tilles Scholars. The auditions were
conducted by Professors Maureen Hynes and Dr. Susan Deaver of
the C.W. Post Music Department, with Tilles Center Director of
Education and Outreach Andrew Berger. Professors Hynes and Deaver
are directors of C.W. Post's Chamber Music Festival. The Festival,
now in its 19th year, is an intensive three-week program which
focuses on the study and performance of the chamber music repertoire.
In addition to chamber ensembles, the Festival features a chamber
orchestra, master classes, a seminar program, a concerto competition
and musicianship classes.
The purpose of the Tilles Scholars program is to encourage
promising young musicians in their studies. All Summer '00 Tilles
Scholars receive tuition assistance for participation in the
C.W. Post Chamber Music Festival and tickets to various concerts
at Tilles Center. The Tilles Scholars program, an important
component of Tilles Center's Education and Outreach activity,
is funded in part by an annual golf and tennis charity tournament,
Swing for Kids.
The Summer '00 Tilles Scholars are: Pianist Robert Chan of
Garden City, a seventh grader at Garden City Middle School; Horn
player Amanda Moskowitz of Oceanside, a 12th grader at Oceanside
High School; Conductor Matthew Oberstein of Bellrose Village,
12th grader at Floral Park Memorial High School; Cellist and
pianist Minhee Sung of Syosset, a sixth grader at the Harry B.
Thompson Middle School; Violinist See Ri Sung of Seaford, a seventh
grader at Seaford Middle School; and Cellist Maria Walton of
Rockville Centre, a 10th grader at Southside High School.
