A Scott High School student received an honorable mention in the first Maestro of Tomorrow competition hosted by Cincinnati Public Radio, home to 90.9 WGUC (classical music), 91.7 WVXU (NPR and local news/talk), and the program Classics for Kids.
The competition is a new scholarship program to identify outstanding young local artists and to help them envision a life in music beyond high school.
Home-school student Mateo Martinez-Schwartz won the top prize of $1,000, while two Cincinnati students finished as runners-up and received $500 each.
Scott student and May Festival Chorus member Calia Burdette was among six honorable mentions, and the only one from a Kentucky school.
