Congratulations to Lin Ni, the winner of the Murfreesboro Symphony's 2015 Emerging Artist Award. She is a twelfth grade flutist at Central Magnet School. Additionally, the Siegel Foundation and Murfreesboro Symphony's Musical Excellence Awards were presented to outstanding musical students in both Murfreesboro City and Rutherford County schools.
On Saturday, March 14, 2015, the community was treated to a morning of music and activities for area youth at the Erma Siegel Elementary School. The day included a musical petting zoo, face painting along with a free concert featuring the Murfreesboro Youth Orchestra side-by-side with the local symphony.
Murfreesboro Symphony President Phil Barnett was especially thankful to the family concert sponsors: Richard Siegel Foundation, Middle Tennessee Electric Customers Care, along with Greg and Minh-Triet Tucker.
Barnett also praised several groups for creating outstanding family activities: Murfreesboro Art League, Dance City, Read-To-Succeed, and Delta Omicon for the pre-concert fun.
