Tessa Devoe

2018 Young Artist Feature

"Playing with the Orchestra on the Hill was one of the most challenging and rewarding opportunities during my music education. While learning and memorizing a complete symphony was intense, it was a pleasure working with Tom for one on one coaching in preparation for the concert: he guided me through technical and stylistic adjustments with patience and encouragement. After the concert, I felt proud and exhilarated - how special to play with such a sensitive and supportive orchestra in such a beautiful historic setting!"

Apply by June 8th!
