After approximately 200 students from 26 schools auditioned in May, the 2012 Orinda Idol finalists for the Lamorinda community were finally announced. "The level of talent was very high, so we look forward to an extremely high quality show on September 9 at the Orinda Theatre," said Britta Glade of Orinda Idol. The community will also be treated to two performances from the Orinda Idol finalists and runners up before the final competition, with a performance July 17 at the Orinda Community Park (as part of the Tuesday evening Summer Concert in the Park series) and again on August 25 at Orinda Theatre Square.
Timing for the September 9 finals event is available at: www.orindaartscouncil.org/orinda_idol_finals.php.
