Greenfield Competition
THE PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA
ALBERT M. GREENFIELD STUDENT COMPETITION
is dedicated to fostering and recognizing extraordinary young talent in the Greater Philadelphia region
The Philadelphia Orchestra Albert M. Greenfield Student Competition is dedicated to recognizing extraordinary young talent in the Delaware Valley region. Since the Orchestra’s first student concerto competition, initiated by Leopold Stokowski in 1933, more than 400 young artists have appeared as competition winners with The Philadelphia Orchestra. Many have gone on to develop international solo careers, including pianists Richard Goode and André Watts, violinists Hilary Hahn, Jamie Laredo and Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, soprano Judith Blegen, and mezzo-soprano Florence Quivar. Several winners have gone on to become members of The Philadelphia Orchestra, including violinists Richard Amoroso, William de Pasquale (co-concertmaster, retired), Michael Ludwig (associate concertmaster), Yumi Ninomiya Scott, and Yayoi Numazawa; violist Burchard Tang; bassoonist Mark Gigliotti (co-principal); bass trombonist Blair Bollinger; and pianist Kiyoko Takeuti.
