Londontowne Symphony Orchestra Presents “Brilliance Unleashed”

During its “Brilliance Unleashed” show at Maryland Hall on April 14, the Londontowne Symphony Orchestra will feature both the Ballet Theatre of Maryland and the winners of the 10th annual Young Artist Concerto competition along with rousing music from the classical repertoire: “L'amant anonyme Overture” by Boulogne, “Firebird Suite” by Stravinsky and “Bolero” by Ravel.

The Young Artist Concerto competition, open to high school students in Maryland, was held last November. In addition to the opportunity to learn from and perform as a soloist with members of the Londontowne Symphony Orchestra, each winner will receive a $250 award at the concert.

“The musical caliber of the high school students who competed was astounding,” said Dr. Anna Binneweg, music director/conductor of the Londontowne Symphony Orchestra. “We can see that classical music has a bright future in Maryland.”

Competition winners who will perform in “Brilliance Unleashed” include Yixhuan Li, a 14-year-old violinist from Rockville; Tessa Miller, a 16-year-old pianist from Silver Spring; and Issac Won, a 14-year-old trumpeter from Potomac.

“Brilliance Unleashed” will start at 3:00pm on April 14. Tickets are $25 and free for students of all ages. Get tickets at the door or from www.marylandhall.org/events.
