All those years ago my little viola player just learning. Just five years old.
She was adorable.
After eleven years and a big dream - lots of orchestras - more concerts than I could count - a lesson every single week from professional players -- and dedication she opened her email ...
I was recording it at the same time (that's the glare you see in the pictures)
And it said, "congratulations you have been accepted to play in the Giovani Solisti orchestra.
So very happy for her. It feels like just yesterday that she was playing "twinkle". I've been to every single lesson since she was five so this felt like a joy for me as well!
The best part was telling her sister the next morning -- all the way from Beijing China.
Anna was over the moon happy for her.
Still walking on cloud nine over here!
We took her out to dinner to celebrate --
Congrats all the way from Amsterdam, Abigail! That's GREAT! It's clear to see from these pictures how much this means to you. Well done :).
