| | | | | | Lamorinda Idol 2013 auditions were held May 16-18 with close to 200 young people from Orinda, Moraga and Lafayette auditioning before a panel of three judges, who selected the finalists. Commenting on the auditions, Lamorinda Idol Chairman Steve Harwood said, "I think those of us present knew we were witnessing something very special as each of the auditioners was well prepared, put themselves on the line and gave it their all. We have a very talented group of finalists, but each of the auditioners was special." Thirty-five soloists and 10 groups will compete at the finals Sept. 8 at Orinda Theatre. The community will also be treated to several performances throughout the summer in Orinda and Lafayette from finalists and runners up. Further details are available at: www.orindaartscouncil.org.
