(KERA WILLIAMS/Standard-Examiner) Sariah Cook poses for a portrait with her violin in her South Weber home recently. Today, the Northridge High School student, 15, is off to Washington, D.C., to play with other young musicians from across the U.S. in a prestigious event at the Kennedy Center.

Northridge High violinist to play Kennedy Center

SOUTH WEBER -- A talented young lady is picking up her violin and heading for Washington, D.C., today.

Shi-Hwa Wang will perform with The New American Philharmonic tonight at Northridge High School in Layton.

Russians inspire violinist, philharmonic

The New American Philharmonic celebrates Russian music in two shows this weekend. The community orchestra plays music by Rimsky-Korsakov and Tchaikovsky in a program at both Northridge High School and Weber State University.

The program features the talents of Shi-Hwa Wang, violin professor at Weber State University. He is no stranger to the philharmonic, having served about 15 years as concert master.

"Eventually, I was too busy and had to stop, but I have known this orchestra since I first came here 20 years ago," Wang said. "I think they have grown a lot. I have had many students playing in the orchestra, and it is always good to see what they will do."
