Ok this past week was a DREAM! I got to perform the Elgar with the Austin Symphony not once but TWICE! I just saw these awesome photos taken by Tyler Schmitt (@tyleratx), and I am in awe! Thank you for taking these! I would like to send out a huge thank you to Maestro Bay for having me and I am so honored to have worked with him! It is also his 25th anniversary with the ASO, so a big congratulations to him! Another huge thank you to Rachel (@rachel_santorelli) for making my trip absolutely amazing all around! Thank you to the donors, stage crew (they literally took the stage apart afterwards like piece by piece.. it was crazy), everyone who helped make this performance happen, and of course you all, the audience, for coming out to see the show despite how crazy this pandemic has been. Now of course as most of you all know, all of my outfits/dresses are courtesy of @coalesce_creative_consultants! I’m eternally grateful! Last but DEFINITELY not least, my Peter Staszel cello is graciously on loan from @williamharrislee, and I literally wouldn’t be able to play without it 🤣, so thank you! 💖 - - - - #cello #100daysofpractice #hpsi100days #leonardbernstein #coleridgetaylor #music #musician #practice #talentedmusician #classicalmusic #hiphop #hiphopcellist #hiphopviolinist #blackmusician #ravinia #blackclassicalmusicians #suzukilessons #violinlessons #suzukiviolin #classicalmusic #elgar
