By Brandon Lidgard
Jul 31, 2008 -- Elizabeth Strickland at age 16 has many admirable accomplishments as a concert pianist. Elizabeth began her piano studies at age eight in Seattle,Washington. She has placed highly in many regional piano competitions including the Simon Fizet Competition in February 2007 and the Trula Whelan Concerto Competition in May 2008.
Elizabeth is a veteran performer of more than 75 concerts nationwide performing as a special guest artist with her father, pop and jazz recording artist, Mike Strickland.
Locally she will perform at the Koncert for Kids on October 22, 2008 to benefit the McMinnville Kids on the Block, an after-school educational enrichment program. Elizabeth intends to help the Kids on the Block Program next year by giving low income students piano lessons.
Elizabeth enrolled in the Delphian School in 2007. The unique program offered at the Delphian School allows Elizabeth to pursue her love of music and help the community while finishing her education. The Delphian School teaches students how to study, as well as providing a strong academic program. As Elizabeth said, “The Delphian School’s personalized academic program allowed me to choose Fine Arts as my major and align many of the courses on my program around my career interests. I earn credits toward my diploma by teaching students and performing in the community. With a Delphi education I will be prepared for life, to be an individual in life, and to be successful at whatever I do.”
