The YWCA of Queens just hosted its annual New York Music Competition in March. Selecting the winners was especially challenging this year as all of the contestants displayed a tremendous amount of talent. We are especially pleased to announce a grand prize winner, Yun Han, who participated in the cello division; she will be the 7th grand prize winner since we began the New York Music competition 16 years ago. She will be given an opportunity to have a solo recital at the YWCA of Queens separate from the winners’ concert. Please visit our NYMC page for a complete list of winners!

The winners concert will take place at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall on April 25th, 2013. Tickets ($20) can be purchased at the Carnegie Weill Hall Box Office or online http://www.carnegiehall.org/.

YWCA of Queens, Korea Daily and NYMC committee would like to thank all the young musicians for your effort, time and talent.

The UPK class just recently completed a unit on buildings with the exciting project of creating their own dream house.  UPK students spent several weeks exploring buildings by reading about different types of homes in different countries, materials used to construct houses, and different rooms that can be found in a house and their function.  At the conclusion of the unit, students were given a variety of materials to construct their own dream house!  The final products were impressive and families were able to take home their creation!
