(WGTD)---A senior at Shoreland Lutheran High School in Somers won this year's Racine Symphony Orchestra's Young Artist Competition.
Bassoonist Faith Weigand will perform her winning selection--Grand Concerto in F Major by Johann Nepomuk Hummel--in a Symphony concert that'll be scheduled for some time this summer.
Faith has been playing the bassoon for three years. She's a member of the Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra's Senior Symphony and the Bach Ensemble.
For the position of runner-up, there was a tie: Cellist Gabrielle Peck and oboist Lydia Morencey both finished in second place, according to a news release from the Symphony.
There were nine entries in this year's contest.
