Congratulations to Bethlehem High School freshman Romeo Vashishth, chosen as the WMHT Classical Student Musician of the Month. Here’s a great video of him playing and discussing Dvorak’s Violin Concerto in A min, Op.53. If you haven’t made a donation this year to the BMA, please do so before the end of the year. Thank you! https://www.wmht.org/blogs/classical-student-musician-month/december-2021-romeo-vashishth/

BMA: How long have you been playing the viola? Lillierose Ruby-Eck: I started violin in 5th grade, however I switched to viola in high school when I learned about the college scholarship opportunities for violists. BMA: Music teachers in Bethlehem have a busy schedule. Tell us what classes or events you’re looking forward to this year and next. Lillierose Ruby-Eck: Rehearsals are my favorite piece of the puzzle in elementary strings. I’m so excited we get to have them again.
