Hello! I am Ella McGinley and I am a sophomore bass performance major at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire. I am very passionate about playing the bass and I have been afforded the wonderful opportunity to attend the Brevard Summer Music Institute! It’s a fantastic program where I will learn from experienced faculty and play alongside other bass players from all across the country. This is an amazing opportunity and I am lucky that I was accepted!

I am almost able to pay the tuition I owe, after scholarships, through money I have saved up from playing with the LaCrosse and Chippewa Valley symphonies and giving lessons, but I need help to get me fully paid. Thank you for taking the time and for any donations you are able to provide!
