March 23, 2001


Miami-Dade County's top high school musicians will perform with the New World Symphony in a free public concert at 7 p.m. April 3 in the Lincoln Theatre, 541 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach.

More than 100 students from 10 public and private high schools will participate in the fifth annual "Side-By-Side" concert held by the New World Symphony. To be led by Michael Tilson Thomas, the concert's program will include Beethovan's "Egmont Overture," Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2," the adagio movement from Piston's "Symphony No. 2," and "Jupiter" from Holst's "The Planets."

A concert highlight will be a performance of Bach's "Concerto for Viola in C Minor" by New World School of the Arts sophomore Dawn Smith, winner of the school's concerto competition.

The annual concerts with high school musicians are an outgrowth of the New World Symphony's "music mentor" program, which provides individual and small group instruction to local students along with free admission to Lincoln Theatre concerts.
