Shook competed against other student musicians from around Washington County to win this year’s $1,000 prize. At WSO’s “Irish Eyes” concert on May 6, she sang "Per la gloria d'adoravi" from the Opera "Griselda" by Giovanni Battista Bononcini.

Shook is the first vocalist to win the contest.

“I chose this piece because I have recently been studying it in my private lessons and it is one of my favorite songs to sing because it is so powerful,” said Shook.

Shook, a sophomore at Trinity High School, has been singing for three years. At Trinity, she is involved in the school musical and is a member of the Chamber Choir.

“Music means so much to me because it brings out the good in people and has brought me so much closer to my friends, family and others in the community,” said Shook. “I do not go a day without listening to music or singing because music is truly something that I love and is very important to my life.”

Outside of her musical endeavors at Trinity, Shook participates in cheerleading and is a member of the Immaculate Conception Church Choir. She also dances at SKM Studio in Washington.

Prior to winning the Young Artist Competition this year, Shook placed third in Washington’s Got Talent. Shook takes singing lessons with Nancy Vance Jacobs. She is the daughter of Lisa and Stan Shook of Washington, PA.
