Composer D.J. Sparr states, “I hope to have provided the young musicians of CYCO with a piece that they would enjoy and an experience working with a living composer that will endear them to perform premieres for the rest of their lives.” Also included on the program are the CYSO 2006 Concert Orchestra Concerto Competition Winners Sang-Joon Won, clarinet and Carmen Abelson, violin.
Soloist Sang-Joon Won will be performing the first movement of Mozart's Clarinet Concerto, K.622, A Major.

Miss Abelson has been playing violin since age five, and has been performing with CYCO since age eight. She has participated in Music Pathways, CYSO's education engagement program, and is currently in the Principal Players string quartet.
