We introduce you to Noah Mercadillo, a sophomore at Tremper High School in Kenosha, who has won first place in both the Kenosha Symphony and Racine Symphony youth auditions. He performs the opening movement of the Haydn Cello Concerto in C major with the RSO this Saturday evening. (At one point during the interview, Noah plays his cello.) In part two, we hear from RSO artistic director Pasqual Laurino, who will conduct Saturday evening's concert.
