Online presentation with Ex-Student Isabella Bignasca
On Thursday 9 September, the Chamber String students engaged in a presentation and question and answer session with ex-student Isabella Bignasca (Pymble Alumni 2016).
Isabella is a graduate from the Juilliard School of Music, majoring in Viola. She lives in New York and is about to commence her Masters Degree in Performance at Juilliard. The session was a valuable opportunity for the girls to gain insight into auditioning for overseas music programs. In addition, Isabella shared stories from her time at Julliard and playing as part of various ensembles.
Thank you to Mrs Narelle Colbey (Head of Strings) for engaging Isabella to speak with our girls.
