7 Judges Biographies 2014 MA-ASTA SOLO COMPETITION Steven Lipsitt - Final Round Judge Steven Lipsitt is widely recognized for his ability to combine precision and passion, intelligence and invigoration. His February 2011 debut with Boston Lyric Opera was hailed by Opera News as a fiercely intelligent, entertaining production and by The Wall Street Journal as an incisive performance, while The Boston Phoenix observed: Lipsitt and his players brought it all to vibrant life and The Berkshire News commented: Lipsitt conducted the orchestra as if the music were in his blood. His technically and expressively balanced interpretations have been described by The New York Times as compelling and by The Boston Globe as an impressive demonstration of talent and discipline. Now in his fifteenth season as Music Director of the Boston Classical Orchestra, Steven Lipsitt has brought this professional chamber orchestra to the front ranks of Boston s musical life with freshly designed, vividly realized programs of four centuries of music.

10 About the 2014 MA-ASTA Solo Competition The Massachusetts Chapter (MA-ASTA) of the American String Teachers Association (ASTA) is pleased to announce the first biennial 2014 Solo Competition. This new solo competition is open to young string players (under 25) performing on Violin, Viola, Cello, Bass, Harp and Guitar. Previously the MA-ASTA Solo Competition was the preliminary round for the ASTA National Solo Competition. The format has changed at the national level to general video submissions, allowing the ASTA state chapters to create their own independent competitions. MA-ASTA is excited to offer a competition at the state level that will provide a broader experience. New to the competition is a Contemporary category where contestants will perform works by living composers, with a focus on local composers. This emphasis aligns with the new MA ASTA Composition Competition, as the winning composition is featured in the Solo Competition. This year, violinists in the senior division will perform Mischa Salkind-Pearl's The Sound, the winner of the 2013 MA-ASTA Composition Competition. Other categories include Baroque, Etude and Contestant's Choice, providing a wider variety of repertoire for those who choose to also participate in the ASTA National Solo Competition in alternate years. The competition and Final Round Recital (open to the public) will take place at 6:30 PM on Saturday, March 15th at The Boston Conservatory in Boston, MA, followed by the Awards Reception. Competitors will compete for $3,350 in total value of cash and merchandise prizes provided by generous sponsors. Page "12
