March 2019 - Classical Young Artist Series - "A Celebration of Youth"

The Starlight Symphony Orchestra is pleased to present “A Celebration of Youth” in which the Starlight Symphony shines the spotlight on the winners of the 2019 Young Artist Solo Competition. This year’s winners are Adriana Bec and Margaret Seo. Adriana will be performing the 3rd movement of Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E Minor and Margaret will be performing the Vitali Chaccone in G Minor.

Also on our concert are three other notable works. One is very new and enjoyed a world premiere in 2018. Kathryn Ellis’ “Five Minute Symphony” is in four contiguous movements. Another work of distinction is Sibelius’ Swan of Tuonela. This is a slow work that melds tonal colors with many instruments with harmonies that are very warm and fuzzy. The final work of the evening is a orchestral transcription of the famous organ work by Bach called Toccata and Fugue in D minor. This is a very powerful work and one of the most famous works in the organ repertoire. Directly after the concert we will present the young artists with their awards. Full program notes and bios are below.

Winners of the 2019 Young Artist Solo Competition are Adriana Bec (left) & Margaret Seo (right).
