Vernell Gregg (right) celebrates with violinists Nicolette Kocsardy and Jason Wu, previous winners of the Young Artists’ Competition, newly named in her honor. Lewisville Lake Symphony proudly announced that its annual Young Artists’ Competition has been named in honor of Vernell Gregg, a LISD School Board Trustee and former language-arts teacher for the Lewisville Independent School system. Ms. Gregg, a long-time volunteer for the Symphony, founded the prestigious music competition in 1999 to highlight young classical talent in Texas and from surrounding areas.
“Vernell has a passion for finding ways to inspire young people,” says Nancy Wright, chair of the Lewisville Lake Symphony Association. “Vernell recognized the tremendous opportunity to motivate young musicians, worked diligently to establish the competition, and in so doing, created a larger role for the Symphony in our community.” More
