On May 19th pianist Cameron Obrecht wonIMG_7596 the first place trophy for his division at the Illinois Music Association Competition.  No small feat as he was up against hundreds of students from throughout northeastern Illinois. With his performance of Grieg’s Nottorno, Op. 54, Cameron took down the competition. Cameron is 11 years old and has been studying at the Metropolis School of the Performing Arts with Bryan Shilander since the fall of 2009. So a big “congratulations” from Metropolis for all the hard work and dedication that got Cameron that top prize!
