The four winners, who will give solo performances at 1 p.m. Tuesday, April 10, at the Skokie Public Library, include Roosevelt’s David Lakirovich (at right), violin, Takahiro Kim, tuba, and John Urban, piano. Philip Young Kim, a flute student at Northwestern University, also won the competition that is open annually to all students, ages 17 to 25, attending Chicago-area music schools.

“This is a great accomplishment for these students and our Music Conservatory,” said Henry Fogel, dean of CCPA. “It is a wonderful opportunity for the North Shore community to see and hear some of the region’s most promising young musicians in concert.”

Lakirovich, a native of Toronto, Canada, studies at Roosevelt’s Music Conservatory with artist-teacher Vadim Gluzman. Kim, a native of Japan, studies at Roosevelt with artist-teacher Charles Schuchat; Urban, a native of Jacksonville, Fla., studies with Roosevelt professor emerita of piano Ludmila Lazar.

The winners were selected from a field of 22 finalists, who were heard in audition by members of the North Shore Musicians Club. Each winner will give a 20-minute solo performance during the club’s Scholarship Concert, and will receive an $800 award following their performances.
