Kirby and I want to take a moment to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Aaron Wolz and Kaya McNurlen, two members of our West County Strings community who earned places in the ’21-’22 St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra through their audition efforts earlier this summer. It’s always wonderful to see students’ years of musical growth and development mature into opportunities like this, and we trust that they’ll thoroughly enjoy their experience as members of the SLSYO this upcoming season. Once again, congratulations, Kaya and Aaron!
