Support Rinzel's Trip to the Balkans in June 2026!

Hello everyone, my name is Rinzel Arroyo, a current senior from Kalamazoo, Michigan. I am a violist in the Kalamazoo Junior Symphony Orchestra (KJSO), which plays three concerts per orchestral season spanning a wide variety of professional-level works. This fall marks my fifth year in the orchestra, and the KJSO is hosting an international tour to the Balkans in the summer of 2026. I'm raising funds to support myself during this upcoming trip to further broaden my performance experiences.

This trip means so much to me because it gives me the chance to gain new experiences as a rising violist. Not only are the performances unforgettable, but I also cherish the memories made meeting new people, trying new foods, and touring newfound landscapes. I've worked very hard to get to this point, and this trip will be a big step forward in my journey as a violist.

In total, the trip will cost about $5000, which includes itinerary costs and other necessary costs. Even if you cannot donate, sharing this page will be just as helpful toward my cause. My YouTube channel with a few of my performances is linked here! You can also find some of the KJSO's past performances here. Thanks everyone!
