Entering its 32nd year in 2008, the Mary Graham Lasley Scholarship Competition, co-sponsored by the Symphony Orchestra League of Alexandria and the Alexandria Symphony Orchestra, encourages college-level musicians to pursue classical music careers. Previous winners of the Mary Graham Lasley (MGL) Competition have gone on to perform internationally and to professional concert and teaching careers. The 2006 winner, Ms. Najin Kim, will perform with the Alexandria Symphony Orchestra during the 2007-2008 season. The 2007 prizes are $1,500, $1,000 and $750, as well as possible Certificates of Honorable Mention. Past judges have been international concert performers, orchestra directors and university professors.
In the 1980s, Mary Graham Lasley was a major figure in the musical world of Metropolitan Washington, DC, and was active on the boards of the Washington Opera Guild, the Alexandria Symphony Orchestra and the Alexandria Symphony Guild, predecessor of SOLA. Her friends and family established a trust in tribute to her many contributions.
