On Saturday night, a panel of judges, including WXXI Music Director Julia Figueras, named Rochester's Classical Idol in the 3rd Annual Contest to benefit the Rochester Oratorio Society.
 
The First Prize winner was soprano Jacqueline Noparstak of New York City.  She walked away with $1,500 and the chance to solo with the ROS.  Second Prize and $1,000 went to baritone Evan Jones, and the Third Prize winner was soprano Elena O'Connor, who earned $500 for her performance of Rachmaninoff's mournful art song "Ne krasavica pri mne."   Jones won the Audience Favorite Award.
