Rebekah was amazed when she found out she was a finalist in the Idaho Falls Symphony Young Artist Competition. Only five high school students and five college students were chosen as finalists, and most of them played strings. Rebekah spent hours practicing both on her own and with our neighbor who accompanied her on the piano. On Saturday, September 17, she was the first of the five to play "Morceau Symphonique" at the Civic Auditorium.

She didn't end up winning, but it was still quite an accomplishment for her to make it that far. (The winner will get to perform her solo with the I.F. Symphony accompanying her in the spring.)
