The winners have been announced. Wenying Wu is awarded first prize and Merle Hillmer & Ashley Wagner receive joint second. The judges were John Kitchen, Gerard Brooks, and Ann Elise Smoot. Announcing the results, John Kitchen said there were "some truly outstanding performances.”
It's bizarre listening to the entries and the competitors not being able to hear the applause... We are now hearing the last of the six finalists. Looking forward to the adjudication.
How are people enjoying the online IAO/RCO Organ Playing Competition We're having a 5-minute break having heard Merle Hillmer & Joshua Hughes. Tune in to hear William Peart shortly :-) conference.rco.org.uk/iao-rc…
Another 5-minite break having heard James Short perform. Next is Ashley Wagner before Wengying Wu closes the competition and adjudication takes place... exciting times 😀

Dr. @johnkitchenkbs, President of @the_iao, has shared a lovely recital from St Cuthbert's, Edinburgh this evening. Edinburgh was to have been the venue for the IAO’s summer festival this year, sadly another victim of the pandemic. m.youtube.com/watch?v=HNZNc6…
