VYO welcome Ronald interviews

Director Ronald Braunstein's leadership of the VYO at the Flynn yesterday was superb. The orchestra was outstanding, especially with Beethoven's 5th Symphony! Here's what the musicians have to say after the performance.

Once again, as part of First Night celebration in Burlington, we were treated to a marvelous performance by the Vermont Youth Orchestra at the Flynn Theater. The VYOA is a Vermont treasure and if you have an opportunity to hear a live performance, don't miss it.

I have three grandsons who have been a part of VYO in the past few years, all playing violin, and the many performances have been wonderful and inspiring. These kids are enthusiastic musicians and are trained and encouraged by good conductors, including Troy Peters.

The VYO deserves and receives support form many people and organizations which encourage the young people to their best, which has included a performance at Carnegie Hall in 2004 and a tour of China in 2007.

Kudos... young people and adults alike!!

My grandson, Estlin, is touring China and performing with the VYO for the next two weeks. He stayed here last night and I dropped him at the airport at 5:00 am. He's really excited to be going and it will be a trip of a lifetime. Click above to read the story about the four young people from Addison County who will be among the 100 travelers.

Many of the orchestra members have been and will be blogging the trip here at http://www.youngwritersproject.org/vyo.
