AYS Concerto Soloist is Daniel Bowen, who will perform the Cello Concerto No. 1 in A Minor, Op. 33 by Camille Saint-Saens. Daniel is a senior at Rio Rancho High School.

Daniel would like to first thank his parents for their endless support and encouragement in everything he does. Also, thanks to his private teacher, Carla Lehmeier, for her constant contributions and expanding his perception of music and to his school orchestra teacher, Eric Walters, for the opportunities he gave Daniel to play as a soloist. Additionally, Daniel thanks his accompanist and uncle, Michael Bowen. Finally, thanks to the Albuquerque Youth Symphony Program for making this performance possible.
