Take in his Rhapsody in Blue, performed by Kate Shao, first-place winner in the piano division of this year’s Jackie McGehee Young Artists’ Competition. The youthful vigor continues with cellist Sydney Tasker, the first-place string division winner, performing Saint-Saëns’s Cello Concerto No. 1. Also on the program are Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s energetic Ballade and Tchaikovsky’s fantasy overture Romeo and Juliet.
