HSO Concerto Competition, April 2016

The biannual Hopkins Symphony Orchestra Concerto Competition was held in late January, 2016, with the three winners being Stephanie Cai, piano, Winston Wu, piano, and Jordan Elum, violin.

I did a photo session (on stage at Shriver Hall) with them at the end of February. These images were used for the HSO web site, for the JHU Hub publication, and for the concert program.

In addition, the photo of the three soloists was cropped (just to show the two from the Engineering School) and used in the Winter 2017 of the JHU Engineering Magazine:
