Our solo Clarinetist, Tyler Clifton Armenta, went on to earn his Doctorate in Music. He is now teaching and has a group called Clariphonics. Audrey Wang and Rina Kubota are both first violinists in their university orchestra. Tiffany Chang has a music agent and she is soloing with various orchestras. We are very proud of these talented young musicians.!
Thank you Tyler, for putting Don Waters’ clarinets into your Clariphonics program. I know he would be happy to know that they will help future clarinetists learn how to play!
Due to Covid the Four Seasons Orchestra has not been holding any more Young Artist Competitions. We appreciate the generous grant funding of our past sponsors. We hope to give more concerts in 2023. The Four Seasons Orchestra is currently raising funds for a Ukrainian benefit concert and a concert of music by the French/African Classical composer Joseph Bologna Chevalier de Saint George’s.
The Four Seasons Orchestra is always interested in hearing how our past soloists are doing.
