Congratulations to the 2023 Music Student Scholarship winner, Evan Yu!
The 2023 winner of The Dublin Singers Scholarship is Evan Yu, of Dublin Jerome High School.
Evan refers to music as his best friend. A friend who has gotten him through tough times - such as the pandemic shutdowns. When his chance to perform with groups such as the Columbus Youth Symphony Orchestra, the Columbus International Children's Choir and Jerome theater shows was taken away in 2020, Evan took that time to compose his own music. He created "2020" - a story about the dreariness of quarantine. He also composed the string quartet "Memento Mori 2022.""
He is a gifted pianist, cellist and vocalist with more than 10 years of study.
​
"I believe that music is a way to tell stories that even words cannot express," he said.
​
A martial artist who has earned a black belt, Evan also volunteers and his church and spends time sharing his musical talents with residents of senior living homes.
​
Evan has earned too many musical awards to list, but his resume includes performance at Carnegie Hall and in Pretoria, South Africa.
Evan plans to study music theory and composition New York University. We wish him all the best!
​
The Scholarship was made possible thanks to a grant from the Dublin Arts Council.
