Many concerts in Kitsap County bring in high-powered talent from around the world, but the Bremerton Symphony Association is proving you don’t have to look beyond your own backyard to find “homegrown talent.”

In fact that’s what it has done with “Homegrown Talent: The Sequel,” the Nov. 4 symphony concert featuring three talented young local musicians: harpist Rebecca Bodrero, violinist Sophia Stoyanovich and pianist Kristy Beckwith.

Bodrero is the Bremerton Symphony harpist, a position she has held for the past two seasons. She comes from a musical family and began her musical training at age 3 with the piano. At 11 she took up the harp.

She said she “dabbles in voice and organ,” but that the piano and harp are where she most enjoys directing her energies. She teaches both instruments and plays the harp for private events as well as her regular position with the symphony.

She said her musical talents would be limited if not for her parents, “whose personal sacrifices and constant support have helped (me) to become an accomplished and happy person.”

She lives in Manette and works for a local non-profit professional services company. In addition to her musical talents she holds a master’s degree in instructional technology and business administration.

She will solo on Handel’s “Harp Concert op. 4 No. 6.

Sophia Stoyanovich, 10, and Kristy Beckwith, 18, were both winners of their age categories in the 2006 Bremerton Symphony Youth Showcase held in January. An opportunity to perform with the symphony was one of the prizes.

A musical career for Sophia would seem to be pre-ordained — she is the daughter of Bremerton Symphony maestra Elizabeth Stoyanovich and composer Patrick Stoyanovich.

She has played the violin for five years, in other words, half her life, and currently studies with Ron Patterson, a violin professor at the University of Washington. At home on Bainbridge Island with her family, including sister Antonia, Sophia is coached and accompanied by her father, whom she calls her favorite composer (followed closely by J.S. Bach).

She is a fifth grade student at Sakai Intermediate School, where she enjoys reading and science.

For her Bremerton Symphony appearance she will solo on Bach’s “Violin Concerto No. 2 in E Major.”

Beckwith has played the piano for nine years. In 2002, she was part of “The Magnificent Seven” piano ensemble which took first place at the Sounds of the Season talent show at the Admiral Theatre.

She played with the Bremerton Symphony earlier this year in the group’s Zoophonics concert.

She is the daughter of Bruce and Rebecca Beckwith. She will perform a solo for Mozart’s “Piano Concerto No. 23 in A Major.”

The program also includes Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition.” Mussorgsky composed the piece in 1874 in memory of his friend, the painter Victor Hartmann. The music is meant to simulate an imaginary tour of a collection of Hartmann’s work.

It was composed as a suite of 10 pieces for solo piano, and is considered to be one of Mussorgsky’s greatest solo piano compositions. Aficionados of ‘70s rock will recognize it from the Emerson, Lake and Palmer 1971 album, “Pictures at an Exhibition.”

“Homegrown Talent: the Sequel” will be performed 7:30 p.m. Nov. 4 at the Bremerton Performing Arts Center, 1500 13th St., Bremerton.

Tickets are $22 adults, $10 youth. Group rates available. For tickets call (360) 373-1722 or visit www.bremertonsymphony.org.
