Violist Isabela Quines, one of the talented musicians entered in this year’s HVP String Competiton, grew up in Poughkeepsie.
Violist Isabela Quines, one of the talented musicians entered in this year’s HVP String Competiton, grew up in Poughkeepsie.

Aside from its five-and-a-half-decade track record of bringing sumptuous orchestral music to our region, the Hudson Valley Philharmonic (HVP) has also distinguished itself as the sponsor of an annual String Competition that has been going on for 43 years. Among its past winners have been violinists Ani Kavafian, Adela Pena and Judith Ingolfsson, violist Marcus Thompson and cellist Fred Sherry.

All three elimination rounds in the HVP String Competition, held at Skinner Hall on the Vassar College campus in Poughkeepsie, are open to the public at no charge, and it’s an exciting opportunity to catch the classical music stars of tomorrow at a point where their careers are just taking off. With about 30 entrants – among them Isabela Quines, who grew up in Poughkeepsie – the first round takes place this Saturday, March 21 from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. The semifinal round winnows down the field on Sunday, March 22 from 10 a.m. to 12 noon, and the shortlisted hopefuls return to square off in the finals at 3 p.m. that same day.

The 2015 First Prize winner will receive $3,000 and a solo performance with the HVP during its 2015/16 season. This year’s panel of judges consists of cellist Sophie Shao of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, violinist and New York University professor Stephanie Chase and violinist and longtime HVP concertmaster Carole Cowan. For more information, call the Bardavon box office at  (845) 473-2072 or visit www.bardavon.org.

 

Hudson Valley Philharmonic String Competition first round, Saturday, March 21, 9:30 a.m.-6 p.m., semifinals, Sunday, March 22,10 a.m.-12 noon, finals, 3 p.m., free, Skinner Hall, Vassar College, 124 Raymond Avenue; www.bardavon.org.

Frances Marion Platt

Frances Marion Platt has been a feature writer (and copyeditor) for Ulster Publishing since 1994, under both her own name and the nom de plume Zhemyna Jurate. Her reporting beats include Gardiner and Rosendale, the arts and a bit of local history. In 2011 she took up Syd M’s mantle as film reviewer for Alm@nac Weekly, and she hopes to return to doing more of that as HV1 recovers from the shock of COVID-19. A Queens native, Platt moved to New Paltz in 1971 to earn a BA in English and minor in Linguistics at SUNY. Her first writing/editing gig was with the Ulster County Artist magazine. In the 1980s she was assistant editor of The Independent Film and Video Monthly for five years, attended Heartwood Owner/Builder School, designed and built a timberframe house in Gardiner. Her son Evan Pallor was born in 1995. Alternating with her journalism career, she spent many years doing development work – mainly grantwriting – for a variety of not-for-profit organizations, including six years at Scenic Hudson. She currently lives in Kingston.
