Kids, Let’s Go to the Symphony!
Aug. 21, 2013—As a cellist at Blair, I get geekily giddy about the Nashville Symphony’s upcoming concert season. As a poor college student, I am sorely short in trying the funds to buy tickets.

The “Do”s and “Don’t”s of a Professional (Cellist)
Jun. 27, 2013—From the beautiful land of Brevard, I bring you some wisdom. We recently engaged in an All-Cello Studio class, where the four faculty cellists, including David Premo, Alistar McRae, Felix Wang, and Benjamin Karp, sat down and told us stories about the “do”s and “don’t”s of a professional cellist’s life.
