Last weekend, the OSTR announced the winners in its 26th annual Competition, this year dedicated to the art of string playing.  The winners were all violinists, and they included grand prize winner Ewald Cheung (who walked away with the “audience favourite” prize, a study scholarship, a solo concerto opportunity with the OSTR, a solo recital at CAMMAC, and the chance to make a demo recording in the studios of Radio-Canada/Espace Musique), second prize winner Victor Fournelle Blain, and third prize winner Clara Chartré.  Jury members for the competition included Jacques Lacombe (chair of the jury and artistic director of the OSTR), Marie-Josée Arpin (concertmaster, OSTR), Chantal Bélisle (producer, Espace musique) and Alex Benjamin (artistic director, Le Festival de Lanaudière).
