Erin Jeffrey hasn't added a story.
Hi, my name is Erin, and I have been playing the violin since I was five years old. It is what I have always wanted to do. I now have an opportunity to join the Jacobs School of Music String Academy, as well as make a trip to Carnegie Hall to perform with the New World Youth Symphony Orchestra, but the costs are considerable and I need help since my family situation does not make it possible for me to pay all the fees needed to participate.
For the past few years, I have had wonderful teachers and organizations who have worked with me to lower the costs for my lessons so I can continue working towards my goal of getting into a music school for college—and hopefully one day being in a professional orchestra. Continuing with these programs becomes costly with travel, instrument maintenance/repairs, and continuing lessons. The total in this fundraiser will cover the trip to Carnegie, as well as the String Academy this semester through the summer camp.
I have been a member of the Metropolitan & Butler Youth Orchestras, and am now performing with the New World Youth Orchestras. I have also been in Side-by-Side with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra for three years. In addition to these orchestras, I am also a founding member of The Calando Quartet and have performed with fellow musicians at many events in central Indiana.
The money I hope to raise here will help me pay for these two outstanding opportunities to continue growing as a musician, and share my music with others. Playing the violin means so much to me, and it inspires me to know these opportunities can happen because of hard work, and the generosity and support from people such as yourself.
Thank you so very much!
Erin
