Oberlin Conservatory Violists Sweep Ohio Viola Society Competition

OBERLIN, OHIO -- Two students at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music swept 
the prizes in the collegiate division of the Ohio Viola Society 
Competition, which was held at the Conservatory on Sunday, March 7, 2004.
	Molly Gebrian, of West Hartford, Connecticut, performed Bartok's Viola 
Concerto and Hindemith's Solo Sonata, op. 41, no. 4 to capture the first 
prize, a cash award and a masterclass with Alan De Veritch, professor of 
viola at Indiana University and a competition adjudicator. A double-degree 
student in her fifth year at Oberlin, she majors in viola performance in 
the Conservatory, studying with Professor of Viola Peter Slowik, and in 
biopsychology in the College of Arts and Sciences.
	Hannah Shaw, a sophomore from Greenville, South Carolina, won second 
prize. A student of Associate Professor of Viola Roger Chase, she also 
performed the Bartok Viola Concerto along with J.S. Bach's Partita No. 3, 
scored for viola.
	Besides De Veritch,  Deborah Price, artistic director of the Chamber Music 
Connection in Columbus, Ohio, judged the competition, which attracted eight 
violists from conservatories and music schools throughout Ohio.
	The Oberlin Conservatory of Music, founded in 1865 and situated within the 
intellectual vitality of Oberlin College since 1867, is the oldest 
continuously operating conservatory in the United States. It is renowned 
internationally as a professional music school of the highest caliber.
