Analiese Helms will perform a recital Friday at 7 p.m. at Pleasant View Bible Church, 2782 W. CR 200N, Warsaw. The public is invited. Several genres of music will be performed. Helms is a freshman at Warsaw Community High School, playing flute with the WCHS wind ensemble. She also is a member of the Symphony of the Lakes in Winona Lake, and performs with the Fort Wayne Youth Symphony on violin. She has competed in ISSMA solo and ensemble contests for the past three years, earning gold ratings at regional and state levels for both flute and violin. In 2012, she won a junior division concerto competition and was the guest soloist with the Peru Community Orchestra. Helms is active in the community by playing her instruments at local nursing homes and with her church youth praise team. She enjoys 4-H. She feels honored to have selected to attend the MasterWorks Festival this summer, and is presenting this concert as a way to earn funds for the tuition. Donations will be accepted at the recital.
