The 18th annual UD Student Concerto/Aria Competition Winners Concert, presented by the music department, will be held at 2 p.m., Sunday, March 17, in the Loudis Recital Hall of the Amy E. du Pont Music Building. The competition was established in 1984 to give talented young musicians the opportunity to perform as soloists with a professional symphony orchestra, and the concert is free and open to the public.

This year’s winner are David Bozenhard, classical guitar, who will perform Malcolm Arnold’s Seranade for Guitar and Strings; Harry Cherrin, alto saxophone, who will play Darius Milhaud’s Scaramouch Suite; Danielle Ingram, piano, who will play the first movement of Camille Saint-Saëns’ Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor, Op. 22; Augustine Mercante, coutertenor, who will sing “Es ist volbracht” from Bach’s St. John Passion and “Va, L’errormio palesa” from Mozart’s Mitridate, re di Ponto; Lauren Robinson, horn, who will play a movement from Gordon Jacob’s Concerto for Horn and Strings; and Roberta Watts, piano, who will perform Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. Both Cherrin and Watts were both winners in 2000.

The concert orchestra will include members of the Delaware Symphony, Reading Symphony and Lancaster Symphony orchestras under the baton of Robert J. Streckfuss, professor of music and director of the University Wind Ensemble.
