Freshman Impresses at National Piano Competition

Dominic Cheli '11 recently placed third in the Music Teachers National Association (MTNA) Junior Baldwin Piano Competition in Denver. Last November he won state, and in January he won regionals en route to the national level of the three-tiered MTNA competitions. Cheli was one of only seven national piano finalists.

"My reaction after placing third in the National Piano Competition was a mixture of emotions," says Cheli. "It was a great experience to be in Denver. It was very exciting and satisfying."

Cheli has been studying piano for eight years and regularly performs recitals throughout the St. Louis region. He also donates his time to play for a variety of charitable organizations. Recently, he performed a recital at Christ Church Cathedral. Cheli will perform in the "Live from the Garden" Classic 99.1 Concert at the Missouri Botanical Garden on Sunday, April 13th.

In addition to placing third at the National Junior Baldwin competition, Cheli has received significant recognition for his talent and achievements. Among other marked accomplishments, he was the Gateway West Young Achiever this January and the Gold Medal winner – Division I – in the St. Louis Area Music Teachers’ Association Young Artist competition in 2007.
