MLWGS freshmen Arthur Wu, Om Evani, and Aileen Bi were accepted into the Central Regional Orchestra (CRO) after an audition this past Saturday at Meadowbrook High School. The CRO is made up of seventh, eighth, and ninth graders from counties located in the Richmond area.
The orchestra is divided into an "A" orchestra for the more experienced musicians and a "B" orchestra for the less experienced ones. Wu (violin) and Evani (viola) were accepted into "A" Orchestra, and Bi (violin) was accepted into "B" Orchestra.
“I wanted to enhance my experience with orchestra because up to this point I only took private lessons,” said Wu of his decision to try out for the CRO. “I’m glad that I got the experience but I feel that I could have done a little bit better.”
Each student was evaluated on a musical piece that they prepared before the audition as well as their proficiency at sight reading. The CRO's first performance is scheduled for the ninth of February.
