CHS Students Shine at Rising Stars Concerto Competition
We are proud to announce that three of our young artists took home awards from the Rising Stars Concerto Competition in January, held at Viterbo University in La Crosse, Wi. Austin Frohmader performed an exciting Hungarian Fantasy by Franz Lizst, and won the $1000 Anna Beth Culver Award. Austin has also been invited to perform with the La Crosse Symphony Orchestra this Saturday . Anna Waldron won the $500 Lynne and Robert Trine Piano Award and Noah Chojnacki received honorable mention for their notable performances. Congratulations young artists!
We understand that not everyone could make the drive out to La Crosse, Wi to listen to Austin play this weekend, so we decided to bring his performance to your home computer! Below, please enjoy Austin’s winning performance from the competition last month.

It is quite inspirational for our younger students to see the level of playing they may aspire to by listening to our Young Artists perform.
