Pianists advance to state

Dripping Springs High School Tiger Orchestra pianists Abir Kulkarni and Annie Reale advanced to the UIL State Solo and Ensemble Contest after memorizing Class I solos and earning a Division I rating at the Region 18 Solo and Ensemble Contest.

The pair join Christian Johnson (Violin, Solo), Alexander Johnson (Cello, Solo), Sophia Kerr (Violin, Ensemble), William Reale (Violin, Ensemble) and Emilia Trevino Hernandez (Cello, Solo) as state solo and ensemble qualifiers. Reale also qualified for state on the piano in an ensemble.

The UIL State Solo and Ensemble Contest will be held on the University of Texas at Austin campus in late May.
