Bangor - A young singer from Orono is headed to the big apple for the opportunity of a lifetime.

At just 16-years-old, she'll be making her debut at one of the world's most prestigious concert halls, Carnegie Hall.

Christina Long is a junior at John Bapst Memorial High School in Bangor.

She was selected to sing with students from all over the world in the American High School Honors Performance series.

She discovered her passion for her singing at a young age.

Her time away from school is spent singing in the concert choir.

Last year, they took first place in a national competition.

"When I first received word that I was accepted I thought it was a mistake and it wasn't for me but now I'm really excited," she said.

Christina's debut is on February 12th.
