DEKALB — The NIU Community School of the Arts is proud to congratulate this year’s winner of the CSA Sinfonia Concerto Competition, violinist and violist Margaret O’Malley of Glen Ellyn.
O’Malley won the competition at NIU for her audition of the first movement of the Violin Concerto No. 3 in b minor by Camille Saint-Saëns. She receives a cash award and will return to DeKalb to perform the concerto with CSA Sinfonia, directed by Linc Smelser, at the May 2018 concert in Boutell Memorial Concert Hall.
She is currently a principal violist of Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra and an active member of the Resurrection Orchestra of St. John Cantius Church in Chicago on both violin and viola. She is also the violist of Asrai Quartet coached by Desirèe Ruhstrat, professor of violin at the Beinen School of Music, Northwestern University. Margaret has won numerous awards for her ensemble work from the Barnett, Discover, Rembrandt and Fischoff International Chamber Competitions.
