| George Ranch HS songstress to perform with Houston Symphony |
Members of the staff from the Houston Symphony surprised George Ranch High School sophomore Madison Marlow at school Wednesday, informing her she is one of only seven winners of the 2011 Young Artists Competition. The competition is presented by Fidelity Investments.
Marlow was chosen after being one of only 24 students from the Houston area to audition March 5 at Jones Hall. Marlow and the other six students will be divided into five solo and ensemble acts that will receive private one-on-one coaching from Symphony musicians later this spring.
Marlow and the other students will perform June 29 in a special concert called “Houston Symphony Pops featuring Fidelity Investments Young Artists Competition Winners” at Miller Outdoor Theatre. That concert will be led by Principal Pops Conductor Michael Krajewski.
In addition to the vocal training, a professional arranger will work on Marlow’s original song, “Wings of Angels,” so that she can be accompanied by the Houston Symphony. Marlow also plays the guitar.
