Tonight was Sylvia's first performance with the BNYS! It was an honor to take her and attend.
Tuning up before the start of the concert...I've always loved the beautifully chaotic sound of all the orchestral instruments tuning!
Next time I will sit in the balcony so I can see the whole orchestra,
but they looked beautiful from the 3rd row too.
The featured soloist, Dr. Ransom, is Sylvia's cello teacher. We love her, and are always in awe to hear her. She was phenomenal on the Hungarian Rhapsody by David Popper.

She received a well-deserved standing ovation for her amazing performance.
Sylvia really likes the conductor, Mrs. Bryant. She says she talked to them during the performance, and made eye contact with her specifically and commented that she was playing by memory.
Sylvia and Angel
Sylvia's friend Lexi and her mom came to the concert, as well as their classmate Chloe, who is hoping to join the orchestra on flute next semester. How wonderful to have the support of friends!
Dr. Ransom asked for a picture before the concert with Sylvia and her other BNYS student, Lydia, who is the cello section leader. They are so fortunate to study with Dr. Ransom, and when she sent me the photo, she said she is so glad to have such wonderful talented students.
It was a beautiful evening of music-making!
