Fall 2024 is my seventh semester playing violin in the USC Student Symphony Orchestra. We play 2 concerts per year, one in fall and one in spring. Our Fall '24 concert was a success :)

Program: Octopath Traveler video game soundtrack, condensed movie score from Les Mis, Vlatva by Bedrich Smetana, mvts II and IV from Tchaikovsky's 5th symphony, and the winning piece from our call for scores competition.
