At the 2011 Young Artist Competition put on by Music Worcester in Alden Hall at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, the Music Guild Prize was won by 12-year-old cellist Zlatomir Fung of Westboro.
The competition was for musicians ages 12-18 in Worcester County. Fung received a $1,100 scholarship and an invitation to perform at the Music Guild s Luncheon and Musicale.
Ten months later in 2012, Fung was performing as a cello soloist at Symphony Pro Music concerts in Westboro and Hudson. I remember the room in which the composition happened, Fung, now 21, said. A lot of these competitions I did, I remember quite vividly because I was building it up in my mind as the biggest thing I ve ever done. And it was true. At the time, it was the biggest thing I ve ever done.

Last Friday night, Jan. 29, the music department pulled out all the stops during a faculty recital in Christ Chapel, featuring trumpet professor Chris McCourry and guest artist and organist Judy Kabodian.
McCourry and Kabodian’s performance presented a unique mixture of organ and trumpet with a program featuring mostly baroque music from composers such as Bach and Telemann. They concluded their concert with a 20th century piece which included a chorus composed of trumpets played by students Ethan Buehrer and James Wasylyshyn, and trombones played by Gregory Clement and Avery Miller.
