Meet this month's classical kid



AUGUST 2008
JESSICA GLYN

Cellist Jessica Glyn is KVNO's Classical Kid for the month of August... She finds the audition process both "scary and fun" but enjoys the thrill of competition -- Jessica is a proud member of both the Omaha Area Youth Orchestra and the Youth Conservatory Orchestra. And when not practicing or performing, you can find Jessica on the volleyball court with her friends or listening to the great music on KVNO! Congratulations to 13 year-old Jessica Glyn, KVNO's Classical Kid for August!



JULY 2008
NICK TAYLOR

KVNO's Classical Kid for July, Nick Taylor, hopes to have a professional career in music... and he's well on his way! Nick has played his bass on stage at the Holland Performing Arts Center with the Omaha Area Youth Orchestra; his teachers say Nick has the drive and determination to succeed with all his musical goals. When not playing his upright or electric bass, you can find Nick working on carpentry projects around his house. Congratulations to future Thomas Jefferson High School student Nick Taylor, KVNO's Classical Kid for July!



JUNE 2008
NADIA MAUDHOO

Nadia is a 12 year-old violinist who has earned perfect scores at UNO's String Olympics; she's also participated in the Blue Barn Music Festival and the last three Omaha Symphony Holiday Fanfare Concerts. When her violin studies conclude for the day, Nadia might kick up her heels with some classical Indian dances or listen for her favorite composers on Classical 90.7! Congratulations to Russell Middle School student Nadia Maudhoo, KVNO's Classical Kid for the month of June!



MAY 2008
SHENG-TZU LIM

Classical 90.7 KVNO is pleased to announce that 13-year old pianist Sheng-Tzu Lim is our Classical Kid for the month of May! A student at Millard North Middle School, Sheng-Tzu has been a winner at several piano competitions; she continues her studies at The Piano Performance Center. When not working on her scales and etudes, Sheng-Tzu is a big fan of movies, not only for the stories but also for the cinematic scores within the films. And, she's a fan of KVNO! If it's May, it must be our Classical Kid, Sheng-Tzu Lim!



APRIL 2008
JOE FITZGERALD

Joe is active not just as a musician but also as an actor. And when not appearing on stage with Opera Omaha or singing with the St. Cecilia Schola Cantorum choir, Joe's participating in school plays and practicing a wide array of instruments, from string bass, to organ, to piano! Joe enjoys listening to KVNO to learn more about composers and their music. He's a Renaissance Man at the age of 12 -- he's Joe Fitzgerald, KVNO's Classical Kid for April!



MARCH 2008
HARRY SIMMONS

13-year old Harry, a student at Lewis & Clark Middle School, has a serious interest in music. When not practicing the piano, he's studying about composers, attending live concerts, listening to Classical 90.7 KVNO and adding to his collection of classical music CDs. Harry also enjoys reading science fiction and epic fantasy novels. We'll agree with one of Harry's teachers who says he's "a remarkable musician". Congratulations to Harry Simmons, KVNO's Classical Kid for March!
