Why did you choose the NRO?
It has been a dream of mine to attend NRO since I discovered what a summer festival was! I think that the quality of musicians and leadership helps to put everyone who attends in a better position to succeed in their musical careers. Putting repertoire at the focus is important to me so I am very excited to get to work playing all of this amazing repertoire. And Breckenridge is a beautiful place to spend the summer!
