Both with have the opportunity to perform the works again next academic year, as soloists with the �Ӱ�ԭ�� Orchestra.  

“The �Ӱ�ԭ�� concerto competition is always inspiring, and the spring edition was no exception,” said Scott Harrison, Executive Vice President & Provost of �Ӱ�ԭ��. “There was another outpouring of talent for our panel to consider, so we are particularly excited to hear winners Jakub and Hiroka perform with the �Ӱ�ԭ�� Orchestra next year."
