Darlington junior Kristina Li won the high school division of the Berry College Symphony Orchestra Concerto Competition. She auditioned yesterday and performed Mendelssohn's "Piano Concerto in G Minor." Darlington senior David Thoms and Darlington junior Lauren Gouthro were runners up.
"Kristina worked so hard and played remarkably well for the audition panel," said Will Camp, director of instrumental music at Darlington School. "She really impressed me most with the extra hours she devoted to her piece over the Christmas Break. Congratulations also to our runners up, David Thoms and Lauren Gouthro. They all represented Darlington very well in the competition!"
As the high school winner, Li will perform along with the college-level Concerto Competition winners, Beth Flichman (voice) and Matthew Soares (trumpet), and the Berry College Symphony Orchestra on April 14 at 7:30 p.m. in the Ford Auditorium. The concert is free and open to the public.
