Hoover student wins piano scholarship

Nine-year-old Emma Voytanovsky, a fourth-grader at Gwin Elementary, was recently selected as the winner of the eighth Geoffrey Glaub Piano Scholarship, given by the Samford University Academy of the Arts. As a scholarship winner, Emma performed in a fall recital Sept. 18 and is also part of the 2016-17 Honors Ensemble. This means she will perform solo pieces several times through the year, including at least two Samford recitals per semester.
