Hello! As I wrap up my first year of my Doctorate of Musical Arts in horn performance at University of Wisconsin-Madison, I'm excited to announce that I've been accepted to the National Orchestral Institute (NOI) this summer! Taking place at the University of Maryland, this 5-week program includes concert cycles under world class conductors, and studies with some of the finest horn pedagogues in the US. I am happy to say that tuition is covered for this program, but room, board, and travel costs are a stretch for my Teaching Assistant salary. I feel very proud to have been selected for such a competitive program, and attendance will grant me an incredible opportunity to learn and grow alongside likeminded musicians. Anything you can contribute to help make this a reality would be greatly appreciated. I promise, I'll be better at the French Horn when I come back. Thank you so much!
