In addition, the orchestra’s April 26 program includes the work of another outstanding student winner: UW composition student Yonatan Ron, a master's student who studies with Huck Hodge and Yigit Kolat, who won the UW’s recent composition competition with his piece "What Stood Still Goes Down Hill."
Cheng, a senior majoring in Economics who studies with Ron Patterson, will perform movements from The Butterfly Lovers’ Violin Concerto, by Chen Gang and He Zhanhao.
Reyes, a DMA student of Donna Shin, performs Flute Concerto, op. 30a by Hisatada Otaka.
Kalinichenko, a student of Cristina Valdés, performs the first movement of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3, in C minor, Op. 37.
