More awards for pianist Arghamanyan

Nareh Arghamanyan, the 19-year-old Armenian pianist who won the grand
prize Tuesday night in the Montreal

International Musical Competition, collected two other awards at the
competition gala concert on Thursday: the $5,000 prize for the best
performance of the imposed piece, Fastforward by Alexina Louie, and
the $2,500 Prix du Public, chosen by public ballot and dedicated to
the late Quebec pedagogue Yvonne Hubert.

Other prizes announced were the $7,500 Joseph Rouleau Award for best
artist from Quebec (Marie-Hélène Trempe) and the $5,000 award for best
Canadian (Vancouver-based Sergei Saratovsky). The annual competition
next year will be dedicated to voice.
