On Dec. 17, the Great Composers Competition awarded Daniel Wu, grade 9, a second prize for Best Beethoven Performance in age group IV (ages 14-16). The competition – one of many organized around the works of legendary composers such as Beethoven, Schubert and Mendelssohn – invites individual instrumentalists and singers, as well as ensembles, to submit their renditions of the composers’ works. The competitions are structured so that the winners can be announced on each composer’s birthday. Congratulations to Daniel, and belated happy 248th birthday to Beethoven himself!
