Twenty four musicians competed in this year's Dora Khayatt music competition. "The judges pick only four winners. But again this year, they were so impressed with the depth, talent, and dedication of all of the musicians who competed," said Music Department Chair Jim Erwin.
The annual Dora Khayatt Prize in Music competition took place on Monday, March 11 in The Class of 1944 Chapel. This year's winners performed for Lower, Middle, and Upper School students on Tuesday, March 12.
Four judges outside of the EA community selected the winners.
The Dora Khayatt awards in music and fine arts were established in 1990 in memory of Dora Khayatt. She was an artist and the wife of the late John Plant, former Chairman of The Episcopal Academy Classics Department.
