Herricks High School senior Mikayla Chan and junior Christina Kim have been selected to participate in the Honor Orchestra of America; an ensemble that is part of Music For All’s experiences for young musicians around the nation.
Both are violinists who have achieved numerous musical accomplishments.
Chan and Kim will travel to Indianapolis, Indiana from March 14-17 to work with world-renowned conductors, clinicians and professional musicians. Within a span of four days, attendees rehearse intensive repertoire and attend master classes.
This is Chan’s third time earning this prestigious opportunity.
“I can genuinely say that it was one of the most life-changing events in my career as a violinist,” Chan said of her past involvement. “The Honor Orchestra of America provided me an opportunity to grow and develop personally and musically. The festival allowed me to connect to others that share the same passion for music that I do as well. Not only did I significantly develop as a young musician, I was also given an insight to the life of a musician at a professional level.”
