Berks Sinfonietta
Two young Berks County musicians stepped into the spotlight as Berks Sinfonietta opened its 13th season, including one cellist reaching a milestone nearly 10 years in the making. Joshua Griffith performed as a soloist with an orchestra for the first time, taking on a piece he has wanted to play since he began learning cello at age 8. Joining him was Exeter Township senior Grace Campling, an accomplished double bassist with ambitions of becoming a professional musician. Both earned their place on stage through Berks Sinfonietta’s annual scholarship competition, turning Saturday’s concert in Wyomissing into a showcase of the next generation of local musicians.
