The Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra's May 10 concert in Severance Hall is one that the young players are themselves excited about, what with getting to play Dmitri Shostakovich's mighty Symphony No. 5. On the same concert, listeners will be excited to hear high-school  Wunderkind Julia Schilz play Max Bruch's Scottish Fantasy. WCLV's John Simna caught up with Ms. Schilz and COYO Music Director Vinay Parameswaran for a lively conversation about Bruch, Bartók, Shostakovich and more.
