Senior Spotlights: Alyssa Kim and Nick Loria

Alyssa Kim (left) and Nick Loria (right)

Alyssa Kim (violin):

Favorite memory: dressing up with friends and soloing The Lark Ascending for the Fur, Fins, and Feathers concert in Fall of 2019.

What I love about LHS Orchestra: I love how Langley Orchestra maintains the balance between working hard and providing a low-pressure environment to find joy in making music. Being in Langley Orchestra has strengthened my leadership skills and has challenged me to grow both as a musician and a person.

Words of wisdom: don’t stress yourself out too much over the little things.

Nick Loria (cello):

Favorite memory: the Austria trip is by far my fondest orchestra memory. I will never forget sightseeing in Austria and Budapest and silently cheering after watching UVA win March Madness at three in the morning.

What I love about LHS Orchestra: I love our orchestra because we have fun while working hard. The members of Langley Orchestra enjoy every step of the music making process, from rehearsal to concert.

Words of wisdom: it is a very good idea to bring snacks and treats to the Philharmonic cello section.

Virtual Performance: Radioactive

Among several projects in the fourth quarter of distance learning during Spring 2020, Langley Orchestra students recorded excerpts of “Radioactive” by Imagine Dragons (arranged by Larry Moore).  Special thanks to Adam Willett for compiling many separate student videos into this “together” piece that only scratches the surface of Langley Orchestra’s music-making abilities.
