Acknowledgments
“We gratefully acknowledge the following for their tremendous help in the past as
well as this year’s
competition. We owe our success to them and want to express our sincere gratitude."
The Oakland Inter-Stake Center of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has
graciously accommodated us this year. We hope you like this beautiful facility. Special thanks
to Bernadette Harland, without whom we could not be here.
Steinway and Sons is providing us with the very best artist pianos available. Special thanks to
Chrissy Huang, who is an advisor to our board, who works tirelessly year after year to make
these pianos appear on time and in perfect working order.
The Scholarship Foundation Donors are truly our silent partners. Their love, support, and
generous contributions will continue to foster the growth of this unique competition.
Thanks to our USOMC Adjudicators, who enthusiastically support the competition and have
given us their time, expertise, and love of music to inspire each of the competitors. The results
of their talent are phenomenal.
Ms. Irene Fong has been our faithful MC for all these years. Her enthusiasm and love for the USOMC are most appreciated.
Finally, we want to thank the contestants, teachers, and their supportive families. Without
their hard work, perseverance, sacrifice, support, and encouragement, the United States Open Music Competition would not exist.
Thank you!
USOMC, Board of Directors
