The Bellingham Symphony Orchestra just announced the winners of its annual Concerto Competition. Leigh Hjelmseth, flute, takes top honors, followed by violinist Clara Kelly, pianist Annika Jonson, and cellist Jaechan Lee.
All four were BMC High School Award Winners and performed at matinee programs in February and March 2020. Awards Committee Chair Charli Daniels says: “For those of you who heard them perform, you will know what stellar musicians they are, and how fortunate we are in contributing to their progress! Our BMC competitions touch many students, it is a wonderful project!”
