Rising Stars!

The Londontowne Symphony Orchestra is proud to present a concert featuring the three high school winners of the LSO’s state-wide Young Artist Competition held last November. This is the sixth year that the LSO has been bringing three of the best high school musicians in Maryland to the stage to play with a full orchestra in front of a live audience.

Vivian Yuan is a senior in the International Baccalaureate program at Richard Montgomery High school in Rockville. She will play the third movement of Ibert’s Flute Concerto.

Joseph Mostwin is a 15-year-old cellist and is a 9th-grade freshman in Baltimore, Maryland, where he studies at the Peabody Preparatory Performance Academy for Strings. He will play Tchaikovsky’s Variations on a Rococo Theme.

Amy Germer is a 16-year-old pianist and is a senior in the Poolesville High School magnet program in Montgomery County. She will play the first movement of Greig’s Piano Concerto in A minor.

The LSO is central Maryland’s community orchestra made up of local professionals, teachers, military musicians, exceptional amateurs and students. They play for the love of making high-quality music for themselves and for their listeners, and they have the development of young musicians as part of their mission.
