The San Jose Youth Symphony's Philharmonic Orchestra, under the artistic leadership of Music Director and Conductor Yair Samet, presents its 2016 Spring Concert to be held on Thursday, March 24, 2016, at 8:00 pm at the California Theatre, 345 S. 1st Street, San Jose, CA 95113.
The program will open with Rossini's La Gazza Ladra Overture and will conclude with Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet. This concert will also showcase winners from the 2015 Young Artists' Competition, proudly sponsored by the San Jose Symphony Foundation. Two outstanding young soloists will be featured: Lauren Collar, flutist, performing Gordeli's Concertino for Flute and Orchestra; and Minki Kim, cellist, performing Lalo's Cello Concerto in D minor.
Lauren Collar is a senior at Branham High School and has been playing flute since age 9. She has been a member of the San Jose Youth Symphony's Philharmonic Orchestra for four years.
Minki Kim is also a senior at Leland High School, and has studied cello since he was 8. He is now in his fourth year with the Philharmonic Orchestra.
