input question: Read the following paragraph and extract the answer for the question: What is the last name of the person who was awarded the first prize in a competition organised by the Societe Sainte-Cecile? In 1848, at the age of thirteen, Saint-Saens was admitted to the Paris Conservatoire, France's foremost music academy. The director, Daniel Auber, had succeeded Luigi Cherubini in 1842, and brought a more relaxed regime than that of his martinet predecessor, though the curriculum remained conservative. Students, even outstanding pianists like Saint-Saens, were encouraged to specialise in organ studies, because a career as a church organist was seen to offer more opportunities than that of a solo pianist. His organ professor was Francois Benoist, whom Saint-Saens considered a mediocre organist but a first-rate teacher; his pupils included Adolphe Adam, Cesar Franck, Charles Alkan, Louis Lefebure-Wely and Georges Bizet. In 1851 Saint-Saens won the Conservatoire's top prize for organists, and in the same year he began formal composition studies. His professor was a protege of Cherubini, Fromental Halevy, whose pupils included Charles Gounod and Bizet.Saint-Saens's student compositions included a symphony in A major (1850) and a choral piece, Les Djinns (1850), after an eponymous poem by Victor Hugo. He competed for France's premier musical award, the Prix de Rome, in 1852 but was unsuccessful. Auber believed that the prize should have gone to Saint-Saens, considering him to have more promise than the winner, Leonce Cohen, who made little mark during the rest of his career. In the same year Saint-Saens had greater success in a competition organised by the Societe Sainte-Cecile, Paris, with his Ode a Sainte-Cecile, for which the judges unanimously voted him the first prize. The first piece the composer acknowledged as a mature work and gave an opus number was Trois Morceaux for harmonium (1852).???

input question: Read the following paragraph and extract the answer for the question: Who does the trio consist of? Following the death of his wife in a car accident, a college professor decides to teach English Literature at an Italian University in Genova. He is accompanied by his two daughters, aged 16 and 10. The trio occupies a flat in the crowded Genova streets and soon adapt to the local way of life, taking day trips to the beach and hiring an Italian tutor in musical composition. The elder daughter begins dating a local Italian teenager, surreptitiously making dates with him behind her father's back. The younger daughter remains close to her father, and still deals with painful memories of her mother's death. A passenger in the car herself when her mother was killed, she was directly responsible for the accident and remains haunted by her image. The Professor, while enjoying life in Genova, has to deal with the demands of being a single parent while also balancing his re-emergent love life. One romantic interest is a colleague at the university (played by Catherine Keener) with whom he shared a brief romantic relationship back at Harvard when both were students. The colleague tries to get close to the family, helping with translation and their day-to-day needs in Genova, but crossing the thin line between good advice and intrusion in their private ways in the process. Another romantic interest is a young Italian student in the professor's literature class. She is brash and idealistic and quickly makes her intentions known to the suddenly single professor.???

By Christmas, Corey is still in recovery but Connolly still remains absent. One night, as Corey lies semi-conscious in bed after being administered a sleeping drug, a woman with a Swedish accent appears at his bedside. She says Connolly has been in a horrible accident; his spine is shattered and he wants to die, but she has refused to help him commit suicide.
