Honorable Mention

Madeline Yang (16) is a pianist, composer, and sound artist from Huntington Beach, California. In an attempt to explore our complex histories and identities, her music often transcends genres, fusing gospel and jazz with traditional Chinese elements, experimental sounds with popular music, and any other hodgepodge she can dream up. As a musician, she has performed at Musco Center for the Arts, Queens College, Segerstrom Hall, and Carnegie Hall, among others. She is an alumna of Dwyer Vocal Ensemble, where she now serves as the accompanist. She studies piano with Dr. Hedy Lee and composition with Mr. Isaac Loew.
