Mira Weidman, soprano, will sing Giunse alfin il momento…Deh vieni non tardar by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.   Mira has seriously studied classical voice and theater performance for the past 6 years.  For 9 years, she has performed in many plays with HLOC and Instantaneous Theater.  Most recently, honor student Mira played the step sister in Rossini’s La Cererentola with the San Francisco Opera Guild; and performed a solo as part of the Frank Loesser Musical Review.
Flautist Angela Petricca will play Concerto in G Major - Adagio non troppo by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.   Home schooled early on,  Angela currently attends Alder Grove Charter School.  Next year she will attend the Northcoast Preparatory and Performing Arts Academy.
Kira Weiss will perform on the piano J. S. Bach’s Concerto in D Minor - Allegro.A sophomore at Arcata High School, Kira plays cello with the Armack Orchestra and the Eureka Symphony.   Kira performed a cello concerto with the Eureka Symphony in 2007.  She has attended three all-state orchestras.  She sees the piano as the most readable map of  all musical instruments  and loves being able to see music theory beneath her fingers.
Conductor Carol Jacobson and the orchestra will perform Georges Bizet’s Carmen Suite, Fantasia on Welsh Nursery Tunes by Grace Williams, and themes from Jurassic Park by John Williams. 
With his dramatic voice Donald Forrest will narrate a selection from James Thurber’s MANY MOONS with the music of Alan Shulman.   His narratives are always an exciting part of the Youth Competition Concert.
