Congratulations to Leah Pang, Gemma Shi, Amiliya Smith, and Bennett Huang for being selected to the All-Virginia Orchestra! All four of these musicians were selected through a blind audition process out of a field of hundreds of Virginia’s finest high school musicians. The All-Virginia Orchestra will be performing in concert on April 26 in Richmond.
A heartfelt thank you to our trip organizers Jen Lee and Claudia Peters, whose meticulous planning made every aspect of the trip truly outstanding. Thanks also to our dedicated chaperones: Mayam Ayromlou, Pamela Fox, Farid Homayounmehr (also our trip photographer), Slava Reshetnyak, Raj Rana, Lucy Sang, Masami Smith, and Kelcy Wanamaker.
A very special additional congratulations to senior Amiliya Smith who was selected as cello section leader of the All-Virginia Orchestra! This distinction means that Amiliya is recognized as the top high school cellist in Virginia. Congratulations Amiliya!
