Senior (high school) divisions. Emerson Millar, a twelve year
old from Ithaca, was the 2007 winner of the Junior Division,
and will be awarded a $250 prize by Jairo Geronymo,
piano faculty at Ithaca College. Seventeen year old
Meredith Riley, also of Ithaca, was the winner of the Senior Division.
She will be awarded a $250 prize by CFCU, and
Eliot Heaton, 18, of Geneva, won second place in the Senior Division.
Eliot will receive a $250 Senior prize, as well.
All three violinists will perform at the March 29th, 2008 concert, conducted by
