Concerto Competition
The Napa Valley Youth Symphony has started a tradition of highlighting some of the talented young musicians in the orchestra by having members solo during concerts. This season, the 2009-2010 season, the Youth Symphony is pleased to announce that Elena Kim, playing the first movement of Lalo's Symphonie Espagnole and Marie Kelly, playing the first movement of Mozart's Piano Concerto in C Major, are the two soloists that will play during our May 29, 2010 concert. Helena Herber was awarded an Encouragement Award. Congratulations to all of them!
