Kaitlin

Last September, at 11 years old, Kaitlin auditioned for the SCC Youth Symphony. It was quite the experience for her - she auditioned for the Conductor playing the first movement of Vivaldi's Concerto in A Minor. The Conductor also had her site read a piece and play a few scales (D Major & G Major, thank goodness!) She was accepted into the SCCYS on the spot. Rehearsals are once a week for 2 hours - they're demanding yet exhiliarating! (and that's above & beyond her weekly private lessons, her monthly group lessons - sometimes twice a month- and daily practices.) There are 66 musicians, mostly high schoolers, with approximately 5 musicians under 12 years of age. It's an absolute honor to be in this Youth Symphony - we're real proud of Kaitlin.

This morning the SCCYS was joined by the SCC Symphony (adults) and the local ballet theatre - together they gave 2 performances for the local elementary schools. One of Kaitlin's dreams is to attend Juilliard - just one of her dreams...I see all of her dreams coming true!
