ISS Junior Wins 1st Place in Lois Pickard Concerto Competition

ISS junior Sebastian Black ’15 won 1st place Saturday in the piano division of the 2014 Lois Pickard Scholarship Competition sponsored by the Symphony Volunteer Council of the Alabama Symphonic Association.

Held at Birmingham-Southern College, the competition is open to serious musicians ages 12 through senior high school in five southeastern states. Black performed Franz Liszt’s “Totentanz” (concerto for piano and orchestra), a set of variations based on the medieval Latin hymn “Dies Irae,” or “day of wrath.” He will play a solo piece in February at the Lois Pickard Scholarship Award Luncheon, where he will receive a $1,000 prize.

Congratulations to Sebastian!
