You guyyyyys!! Violapalooza was a huge success (it was a month ago….)! Even though so much time has passed, I had to take a moment to choose and post some photos. We had over 50 musicians of all ages and abilities for an afternoon of rehearsals, masterclasses, sectional coaching, and a performance in Keller Hall. We are so grateful to the UNM String Lab School for hosting and to our volunteer educators, administrators, and performers for their time and dedication to our community.
