The Anchorage Civic Orchestra held a high school concerto competition where students auditioned a piece of music for a chance to perform with the orchestra and win $500. This year’s winners are high school seniors Rania White and Olivia Martin. White performed a violin concerto by Mendelssohn and Martin chose the Rimsky-Korsakov concerto for trombone. While they might be nervous about performing with a seasoned orchestra, both White and Martin say they’re excited for the opportunity.
