Congratulations to our 2013 Music as Muse Winners and Finalists


This year's Music as Muse contest celebrated the works of Benjamin Britten and Henry Purcell, played at COSA's Centennial Benjamin concert. Inspired by their music, COSA received poetry and visual arts submissions by high school seniors in the San Antonio area. Thank you to all the students who submitted!


Congratulations to our two poetry finalists: Brandi Carnes, "I Am Music" and Marcus Martinez, "Regal Temperament: An Ode to Rondeau" . "Promises" by Taylor Wilcox (middle) was chosen by this year's poetry judge Tomas Morin. In our visual arts category, Madison Baber, "Melancholic Melody" (bottom center) won for her work "Melancholic Melody." Taylor Wilcox, "Dripping Sound"  and Emily Barbary, "Boisterous Bouree" placed as finalists for their works inspired by Britten and Purcell.
