Fifth Former Katelyn Heuer had the honor of performing at Carnegie Hall this past weekend. Katelyn, an accomplished pianist, was one of 20 students from around the USA selected as finalists in the 2015 American Fine Arts Festival (AFAF), which showcases some of the country's most talented young musicians. She played a rarely heard solo piano composition, "Etude in E Flat Minor," by Russian composer Silvansky and received a Certificate of Excellence from AFAF.
Katelyn, of Middletown, RI, followed in her elder sister Keri's footsteps by appearing at Carnegie Hall. Keri, a freshman at Cornell University, was also a finalist in the prestigious competition two years ago. A second group of finalists will perform at Carnegie Hall in November before the grand winner of this year's competition is announced.
Congratulations, Katelyn, and best of luck!
