14-year-old violinist to perform at NIU

An award-winning 14-year-old violinist will perform with the CSA Sinfonia at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Concert Hall of the Northern Illinois University Music Building.

Concerto Competition winner Serena Harnack will perform the fourth movement of the Concerto No. 4 in d minor, Opus 41 by Viuextemps.

Harnack won the competition at NIU after a rigorous audition in November. She also is the recipient of the 2012-2013 Susan and Richard Kiphart Scholarship at Music Institute of Chicago. She is a member of the Academy program for gifted pre-college musicians where she studies violin privately with artist faculty members Almita Vamos and Hye-Sun Lee. Harnack has been studying violin for 10 years and is a freshman at St. Francis College Prep in Wheaton. She lives in Glen Ellyn.
