The MDRS Young Artist Competition was held on April 10, 2010 at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville.  It was hosted by Theresa Delaplain, oboe professor, and Richard Ramey, bassoon professor at the university. This year’s competition sponsors were Carlos Coelho Woodwinds, Eble Music, Mark Chudnow Woodwinds, Oboe Chicago, TrevCo Music, and Weber Reeds.

Judges for the competition were Roger Widder, University of Arkansas professor emeritus, and Richard Ramey, University of Arkansas professor of bassoon.

Students from Arkansas, Kansas, and Oklahoma competed in the event. High school students each performed one piece, and university students performed three works for the judges. The competition was open to the public.  We offer our deep gratitude to all who helped contribute to the success of this year’s event including our judges and generous sponsors.
