Lucerne Festival
Participant in the Lucerne Festival Contemporary Orchestra in August and September of 2022 and 2023 held in Lucerne, Switzerland.
I hadn't ever heard of summer festivals beyond surface-level awareness that some kind of music happened in Aspen every summer. I auditioned for and was accepted into the Lucerne Festival Contemporary Orchestra and thoroughly enjoyed myself. The ensemble was excellent, the location was excellent, and the people were excellent. It has been the absolute highlight of my last couple years!
Radio broadcasts from the Lucerne Festival I can be heard on
