COMPTON, Calif.—A Palmdale man linked through a DNA database to the rape of a woman in Compton pleaded not guilty to charges that could land him in prison for life.

Violin is their instrument of choice

The Antelope Valley is filled with talent, and some of this can sometimes go unnoticed, because it’s not necessarily in a category that is hot or popular. Violin players and sisters Rosalyn, 19, and Nia, 13, Darbeau are a perfect example of that.

Rosalyn has been active in music since her adolescent years.

“I’ve been playing music for about 12 years,” Rosalyn said. “I used to play the piano, but I wanted to try something new, so I chose the violin and I stuck to it.”
