On April 15 Antonín Dvořák returned to northern Iowa. Over 4,000 Cedar Valley elementary school students attended the WCFSO Youth Concerts and experienced much of the same music the composer himself performed on his visit to our area 115 years ago. Nathan Friend, a junior at Ogden High School and winner of our 2008 Young Artist Concerto Competition, was featured. Click on the image below to see the event.
