Chamber Music - Common App Short Answer

For the past seven years, violin has given me the opportunity to participate in a variety of ensembles. From school orchestra to MYS to pit orchestra to performing at Carnegie hall! Out of them all, I enjoy playing in chamber music the most. While chamber is a small group, we still make a big sound. Composed of the top string players, we present an array of pieces for different occasions year round. Whether we are playing Christmas music at hospitals and nursing homes, or accompanying the senior concertos, we find the pleasure to entertain. While we are not performing, we are competing. To challenge our "inner music geek" we participate in the annual solo and ensemble music festival. For the past three years, we have received a 1st division rating in both the region and state. This year, my goal is for our ensemble to be selected to play at the Michigan Youth Arts Festival in the spring. While this qualification will require rigorous preparation, it is a challenge I welcome.
