Kevin Lemus Announced as 2020 Young Artist

Kevin Lemus, 17-year-old senior flutist at Sterling High School, is the winner of Clinton Symphony Orchestra’s annual Young Artist Auditions, and will perform the Sonata for Flute by Francis Poulenc accompanied by the orchestra in concert at 7:30 p.m. on February 15 in the Morrison High School Auditorium. Kevin is the son of Maria and Efrain Lemus, and a flute student of Nicole Oberg. He enjoys running, and is a member of the school swim team, with a special interest in diving. Future plans include a college major in biology as a path to pre-medicine studies.

The Young Artist Auditions are open to all area high school musicians, and this year’s runner-up is Jenna Spencer, a senior trombonist at Clinton High School. Both students will receive monetary scholarship awards from the Clinton Symphony Orchestra Association.

Adult tickets for the concert are $20, and all students are admitted free of charge. In addition, any student may sponsor an accompanying adult for half-price admission. Tickets are available at the door.
