“Every day, music makes a difference in someone’s life. I look forward to continuing to have those  that I make music with, making a difference in my life. It's not just notes on a page. It's each member  combining their voices together to create those musical moments within an ensemble. Hearing, feeling, interpreting each piece in its own unique way.”
