Northborough man to perform in Van Cliburn competition
A Northborough man will be among 75 amateur pianists to compete this week in a worldwide competition.
Robert Finley, a retired electrical engineer, is one of three in the state who will compete in the Van Cliburn Foundation’s fifth International Piano Competition for Outstanding Amateurs, beginning tomorrow and continuing through next Sunday in Fort Worth.
Finley, a native of England, joins fellow Bay State residents Ellen Dodson of Lexington and Richard Einhorn of South Hamilton.
The contest, which takes place every four years, will award $2,000 for first place, $1,500 for second and $1,000 for third.
