1 good thing: Woodland Hills sophomore wins concerto competition

good melodies: Woodland Hills High School sophomore Cody Conley won the Age 14-15 Division at the Philadelphia International Music Festival Concerto Competition this summer at Valley Forge Military Academy & College in Wayne. The 15-year-old, who has been playing violin since he was 5, performed the first movement “Allegro moderato” of Henryk Wieniawski’s Violin Concerto No. 2 in D minor, Op. 22, which he said he likes “because I find it to have beautiful melodies.” He won a $750 scholarship to next summer’s 14-day violin intensive at PIMF and a chance to perform in the 2023 PIMF Winners Circle Concert.
