THE ARTHUR FRASER COMPETITION

The Symphony League has long been active in the development of talented young musicians. The collaboration of the Symphony League and The University of South Carolina School of Music through the annual Southeastern Piano Festival reinforces and increases opportunities for talented musicians.

The first place winner of the Southeastern Piano Festival is referred to as the "Southeastern Piano Festival and Arthur Fraser Concerto Competition Winner." This year the winners were as follows: first place, Gregory Wang; second place, Joshua Brooks; third place, Cwen Homa. The Symphony League sponsors the performance of all three top prize winners at the October 25, 2008, concert of the South Carolina Philharmonic.
