What are you most looking forward to this summer with the NRO?
I hope to learn about what it means to have a professional orchestral position throughout the summer in Breckenridge. This can differ quite a bit from being a conservatory student, so I’m excited for the new experiences and future lessons learned from being in such an intense program!
