LINCOLN, Neb.— This year’s winner of the Play with the Chiaras Audition is cellist Korynne Bolt.  This year’s alternate is saxophonist Nicholas May.  Bolt will perform Schubert’s Cello Quintet in C Major D. 956 with the Chiara String Quartet in their Hixson-Lied Concert Series performance in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Glenn Korff School of Music’s Kimball Recital Hall on Monday, March 7 at 7:30 p.m.

Each auditionee had a 45-minute audition, in which they had prepared an entire work.  The audition began with a run-through of sections chosen by the judges, then was followed by 30 minutes of rehearsing and concluded with another run-through of the sections rehearsed.  The judges were Dr. Jeffrey McCray, Dr. Kurt Knecht, Prof. Rebecca Fischer, Prof. Hyeyung Julie Yoon, and Prof. Jonah Sirota, all faculty of the Glenn Korff School of Music.
