In early February, four Harker seventh graders placed high at the United States Open Music Competition, an annual piano competition that has highlighted the talents of young musicians for more than 20 years. Constance Horng and Nicole Chen took first place in the Open Duet Intermediate category for their performance of Claude Debussy’s “En bateau” from Petite Suite. Tiffany Zhao took second place in both Piano Showcase Solo Junior F and Treasury of Popular Music Intermediate A, as well as fourth place in Open Solo 4B. Sian Smith took fourth place in Treasury of Popular Favorites Intermediate A.
