"The selection process was difficult but we are thrilled with the talented individuals competing in the event. This should be a very entertaining evening" says Artistic Director Quin Gresham. "The competition includes vocalists, dancers, a harpist, an electric flautist and other exciting musicians. We are really excited about the variety that will be on display."
