August 13 at 10:26 Olivia shared her joy with all of her Facebook friends. "First place at the Minnesota State Oldtime Fiddle Championship! Also took home first in both the Twin and Non-Fiddle divisions! Needless to say, today has been quite good." A humble announcement from a very personable performer.
August 23 at St. Joseph's Catholic Church the Tuesday Noon audience will have yet another opportunity to see how far Olivia has come. Some of us remember her as the timid 11-year-old who was practicing 8 hours a day with a goal of becoming the best violinist in the world. She's not so sure about that anymore, but she's still working hard and sharing her love of the violin and its music with numerous students. She's also singing with Itasca Community Chorus and continues to play at assisted living facilities and anywhere else she can accommodate in her schedule.
Come early as St. Joe's is noted for their delicious luncheons at $6.00. The concert is, as always, funded by donations. This year's generous audience has made possible two scholarships that will be awarded next week.
