Our studio’s Suzuki ensemble as well as the combined all ages ensemble both received all Superior ratings, the best possible rating, from all three adjudicators for their performances. The adult ensemble from our studio received Excellent ratings from the adjudicators. Everyone worked hard and played beautifully! I’m so proud of each of these students and how much they accomplished in just a few months. I also especially appreciate the effort their families and friends made to transport harps and support us in the audience at the festival!

Then on the evening of May 4th Madeleine performed Spring Breezes arranged by Richard Meyer and In the Company of Angels by William Hofeldt with the Fort Worth Youth Orchestras String Orchestra.

Five other graduating high school seniors, four pianists and a vocalist, were also featured on this evening's concert. I know all of her harp teachers these past few years are just as proud of Sima as I am! All of her hard work this year lead to beautiful performances tonight of Lolita la danseuse by Marcel Tournier and La Source, Op. 44 by Alphonse Hasselmans. I will miss you so much next year, and wish you the best in your studies at the University of Texas at Austin. Brava Sima!
