Congratulations to the 2011-2012 VYO Soloists!

Every time I step on the podium with the VYO, I’m reminded of all the wonderful musicians who taught and mentored me, so it feels wonderful to be able to pass along that legacy to these dedicated young musicians.

Congratulations to this season’s VYO soloists.
