NWSA'S GREGORY ZELEK WINS FIRST PLACE IN YOUNG ARTIST COMPETITION
New World School of the Arts high school junior Gregory Zelek was awarded First Place in the Third Annual Young Artist Competition for Pre-College Organists held at East Carolina University in April. The competition, open to students from North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Florida, is designed to inspire young musicians in our region to strive for the highest level of musicianship and technical accomplishment in organ performance.
Competitors performed on the Perkins and Wells Memorial Organ at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, which borders the ECU campus. Gregory was awarded $2500 as the first prize winner, and was also recognized with the special Bach Prize for extraordinary performance of the music of Bach. Last year Gregory won the Third Place Award in the Eleventh Annual Albert Schweitzer Organ Competition, an annual national competition in Wethersfeld, Connecticut. Gregory was also awarded the Most Creative Performance Award, further distinguishing himself in a field of thirty-seven finalists.

Choreographed by Michael-John Harper, Intro draws an analogy between women and water. Both beautiful and disturbing, the piece was inspired by the female Greek statues at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. The piece is interpreted by four female dancers who transport the audience to a "surreal place" through the use of the elements. Intro was presented during the 2009 BFA Dance Concert in February.
