It is a dream come true for a local teenager, a chance to play with the renowned Cleveland Orchestra. She won the chance after winning a competition.

For the 16-year-old junior from Hawken School in Chesterland, it was the chance of a lifetime.

Margret Chen Erlendsdottir is the principal keyboardist of the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra.

She doesn't know if she will continue with a career in music as yet. But we do know that she does well on a violin as well.
