The Hendricks Symphony Orchestra’s Youth Concerto Competition recently showcased an impressive display of local talent, with Alexander Castellanos-Medina and Rachel Weiss earning top honors for their standout performances. Alexander secured a well-deserved first-place finish, while Rachel followed closely in second place. In recognition of their dedication and technical skill, both musicians were awarded cash prizes to support their continued artistic development.
