The History of Jeanne & the Mozart Concerto #20 in D Minor
March 1982 - Jeanne won the Senior Division of the Columbus Symphony's Concerto Competition
She was not "age eligilbe" but allowed to compete since she won the Junior Division at age 7
Her prize included a performance with the Symphony

AMSA Concerto Competition - June 26-27, 1982 - The Background
I did not expect 12 year old Jeanne to win anything in the "Pre College" Division
AMSA was an "International Piano Competition" drawing students from all over the country and the world.
The plan was to play in the prelimaries and drive home to Columbus. Joe, Karen & Bobby were at a swim meet in Athens
Our old 1970 Falcon died on the highway. So we had no car, no hotel room and no "formal attire" as required

A ""good samaritan" heard our story at the auto repair shop & drove us to Sears (closed for inventory)
I banged on the door, explained the situation & someone let us in so we could buy a dress
She drove us to the music hall for the rehearsal with the orchestra. Jeanne got dressed in the ladies room

We got a hotel room. Joe, Karen & Bobby arrived after the Sunday session of the swim meet.
We attended the Concert at the Music Hall Sunday evening looking like poor, disheveled folks BUT
Jeanne had "formal attire" - actually a simple long dress - only a child's size 12 fit her petite frame.

37 Years later in her "Return to the Stage" Jeanne entered the "Piano Texas" Competition and
won the opportunity to play the Mozart Concert again. Her performance is included below
