Minnesota Orchestra,

Congratulations to oboist Izaiah Cheeran who won the top prize in YPSCA's Concerto Competition on Sunday, performing Bohuslav Martinu's Concerto for Oboe. In addition to a cash prize, Izaiah will perform with Minnesota Orchestra next season! GTCYS fans will remember Izaiah from his years in GTCYS, including Symphony’s exciting tour to Italy last summer before he headed to Curtis Institute of Music. Way to go, Izaiah!
