Final Forte News

Leah Latoracca is returning for her third time in the Bolz Young Artist Concerto Competition with the Madison Symphony Orchestra. This violinist is one of the most dedicated young musicians I've ever met. She takes seriously that old joke "How do I get to Carnegie Hall?" "Practice, practice, practice." Each year that she's been in this competition we've documented her amazing progress from the age of 14 to now 17. You can hear her on Wisconsin Public Radio in the program, 'Wisconsin Young Artists Compete: The Final Forte' live from Overture Hall on March 16 starting at 7pm. You can watch the competition on Wisconsin Public Television on March 28 at 8pm and April 2 at 3:30pm. This program will also be simulcast on-line at wpt.org.
