| Benito Thompson, age 13 of Crews Middle School - First Winner |
| Holiday Happiness for 13 Year Old Budding Violinist Benito Thompson, age 13 of Crews Middle School in Gwinnett, is the first recipient of the Deserving Young Artist Award. Ronald Sachs Violins and CraneClassical Music Society has awarded Benito a professional quality violin to use, in recognition of his promise as a fine young musician, as the first of 5 fine string instruments that will be awarded annually to deserving young string players. Serious young string players who have not reached their 18th birthday may be nominated by their private instructor or orchestra director, and nominations should be placed at www.craneclassical.com. Benito received this violin at the December 15th Crews Middle School Holiday performance. Benito first became exposed to orchestral music at age three, when living with his family in Jamaca and watching featured broadcasts each Sunday evening on television. He would pantomime playing the violin and requested an instrument and finally began at age 6. He had limited lessons for a year and then continued on his own. Upon relocating to Snellville, Benito joined his middle school orchestra and worked his way up to first chair. Benito Thompson is a budding young violinist who will be a pleasure to watch develop. We are proud of his dedication, accomplishment and his motivation to share his love for music and joy with his community. His awarded instrument will facilitate steady progress and artistry. |
