Rehearsal! - NUYCO

Hello families! What a wonderful concert on Friday. I had so many people tell me how incredible and "top-level" NUYCO sounded. I remember going to NUYCO and NUYS concerts when my brother was in the symphony and I don't think NUYCO ever sounded like they do now. Quite an accomplishment! 

Just a reminder that we do have rehearsal on Saturday! 9:30-11:00 AM at Promontory School. We'll be handing out new music! See you then!

Hugues is a senior at Ridgeline High School and has been playing violin for 10 years. He moved from France with his parents 3 years ago to start his high school in the US. In France, he studied violin and music theory, and participated in choirs, orchestras, and ensembles at the Conservatoire de Nancy. He is currently studying violin with Rosemary Hatch and Robert Waters from Fry Street Quartet. Hugues has participated 3 years in region and state Solo and Ensemble where he got excellent and superior ratings for his performances in his school chamber orchestra, ensembles, and solo experiences. He also participated in All State Orchestra. He was assistant concertmaster at NUYS and his school orchestra last year and is now the concertmaster for both.

Hugues loves music and especially playing and sharing music with others. He also loves composing music. He composed a piece for his high school string orchestra which they played last year and is working on multiple other pieces including a string quartet, clarinet sonata, and more. Hugues loves cinema and his also working on composing the soundtrack of a movie for the Moonshiver Movie Festival in Cache Valley.

He would like to thank everyone he’s met that helped him become a better musician over the years as well as all his friends from France and the US and his family.
