Tomorrow afternoon, the second co-winner of the 2026 Youth Concerto Competition will take the stage!

Gabriel Boggs, 18, is a homeschooled high school senior. After a year of piano lessons at age 9, he began learning violin in an after school strings program. Four years ago he began taking weekly private lessons and ensemble classes with Laura Andrews. Gabe has enjoyed many musical playing opportunities with the South Central Indiana Home Educators' ensemble and orchestra, the Philharmonic Youth Orchestra, the Columbus Symphony Orchestra, and the Andrews Strings Studio. Gabe won an award at the Brown classical music contest his junior year, and then recently won first place in the Brown Senior division as well as co-winner of the Columbus Symphony concerto competition. This year he serves as Concertmaster of the Andrews String Orchestra as well as the CSO side-by-side program.

Gabe enjoys working with his dad, drawing, spending time outdoors, and hanging out with his family. He has traveled extensively with his family, including to favorite National Park destinations of Yellowstone, Arches, Glacier, Acadia, and Theodore Roosevelt.

This fall Gabe will be attending Purdue University for Aeronautical Engineering Technology. He intends playing violin throughout college and aspires to a career at Lockheed Martin.

Congratulations and Good Luck, Gabe!

Congratulations on an outstanding performance today! Elisabeth performed the first and third movements of the Concerto for Violin No.2 by Oskar Rieding, accompanied by the CSO.

2026 Youth Concerto Co-winner violinist Elisabeth Laws, age 16, has studied the violin for six years. Homeschooled and raised in a musical family, she began piano lessons with her mother at age four and started violin at 11 with Jason Chen of Bloomington. She currently performs in both the orchestra and ensemble at South Central Indiana Home Educators and is also a member of the Philharmonic Youth Orchestra.

Although the violin replaced the piano as Elisabeth’s primary instrument, she has enjoyed broadening her musical experience in recent years, studying clarinet, flute, cello, viola, French horn, handbells and voice. She sang with the Columbus, Indiana Children’s Choir for five years and now participates in the Indianapolis Master Chorale. In addition to music, Elisabeth dances en pointe at Dancer’s Studio. When she is not practicing music or ballet, she enjoys spending time with her two kittens, reading, knitting, cross-stitching, and teaching her younger brother violin.
