In 2002, the Guelph Symphony Orchestra (GSO) initiated the Under-23 Concerto Competition to offer talented young musicians the opportunity to perform a full concerto as part of the GSO’s regular concert series.
Each year a different instrumental category is offered and the age category is open to students who are working on or have completed their undergraduate studies.
This year’s competition winner is Sarah Whynot, who will be performing Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G April 1.
The program will also include Roman Carnival Overture by Hector Berlioz, and César Franck’s Symphony in D Minor.
This concert marks the finale to the season.
French Masters will be at the River Run Centre on April 1. For ticket information, visit www.riverrun.ca.
GSO will also be offering a repeat performance of this programme at the Milton Centre for the Arts on April 27. For information on that performance, visit www.miltoncentreforthearts.ca.
