February 29, 2012

Southwestern Oklahoma State University’s Department of Music will host its annual James Breckenridge Memorial Piano Competition this Saturday, March 3, in the Ed & Winnie Ola Berrong Music Hall on the Weatherford campus.

Students from around the state of Oklahoma will converge on SWOSU for the competition that honors the memory of long-time faculty member, Dr. James Breckenridge. The event consists of four age divisions: Kindergarten to 3^rd grade, 4^th to 6^th grades, 7^th to 9^th grades, and 10^th to 12^th grades.

The contestants will compete in three rounds. The top performers will advance out of the first round, followed by five qualifiers from the second round, and the winners will be crowned in the final round. All five finalists will receive medals.

The judges for the competition are Dr. Dennis Widen, Dr. Sophia Lee, and Elaine Bates, all faculty of the SWOSU Department of Music.
