Huge congratulations to Grace O'Neil on winning the prestigious Sudler Prize in the Arts!

From starting her musical journey at age 6 in Lincolnshire to performing across Chicago, Indianapolis, Florida, and Spain, Grace has truly excelled. Along the way, she earned spots in the 2024 Women in Jazz Organization mentorship program and was recognized at the 2025 Elmhurst University Jazz Festival as a standout bassist for the Purdue Jazz Band.

Having just completed her Bachelor's degree in Nuclear Engineering, Grace is heading to Virginia to begin her career at Framatome—her bass still at her side. We can't wait to see what she accomplishes next!

💐 Go Beyond the Notes with Tiana Lin, winner of the Lafayette Symphony's 2026 Keller Concerto Competition and winner of the Sudler Prize in the Arts!

Originally from Orange County, California, she began playing cello in fourth grade and made her debut in 2019 after winning the Southern Youth Music Festival Young Cellist Category. Now principal cellist of the Purdue Philharmonic Orchestra and a founding member of the Sandra Yover Haas String Quartet, she has also served as principal cellist of the Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra and performed with the Pacific Symphony Youth Quartet, earning national and international recognition.

Alongside her musical achievements and Purdue honors, she completed her Bachelor’s in Computer Engineering at Purdue and will return for her master’s—while still making time for Strava goals, food critiques, and Wikipedia rabbit holes.

Congratulations, Tiana! 🌟
