We are Steven Martin and Daniela Salinas, two music students from UTPB preparing to attend the Esker Festival in Ireland! The festival itself is from August 14-19, and we are hoping to go a few days early to be tourists. This will be our first time participating in a festival in Europe, and we are both very excited for the chance to learn and grow as musicians.

At Esker Festival, we will have the opportunity to work with a renowned international performing quartet as part of the orchestra. We'll also be able to connect with fellow students from around the world, building our skills and expanding our musical horizons. This experience will help us develop our playing ability in both orchestral and private settings, and create lasting connections in the music community.

This is an incredible opportunity that we don’t want to miss because of financial barriers. The funds raised will cover our roundtrip flights, hotel stay, and a small amount for local expenses, making it possible for the two of us to participate fully in the Esker Festival. We would be grateful for any support to help us attend this festival and make the most of this opportunity!
