Young Artist Division (for the gifted)
Christina Gupfinger: Congratulations!

Music Director of Ocean City Pops, William Scheible, called upon the Leopold Mozart Academy for a replacement soloist, who would be able to perform a concerto within 3 days notice. The Director of the school decided on offering this challenge to Christina. She accepted and she played very well, in fact she played so well that Mr. Scheible called her back to perform again this summer in an all Mozart program, on August 5th 2002. We are very proud of Christina's poise, courage and artistry. We all wish her the very best for the future.
