Memories of July 8-24, 2022
We want to play together! But COVID kept testing our attempts at staying healthy, we lost a violinist the first morning of rehearsals…. Because we had to bring in two violinists who had very little time to prepare, at the concert we awarded
THE COURAGE AWARD
to Michael King and Jarden Pan, who were given $100 scholarships each to return next summer.


We rehearsed outdoors, we rehearsed indoors in air-conditioning (we prefer!)
Even the place where we rehearsed outdoors on the back patio fell victim to three members of that household got COVID, so, of course, we didn’t go in!
We wore our masks and strained to hear what someone was saying under his mask…
We tried playing the way the coach was demonstrating….
After five rehearsals, we provided a 2 pm concert July 24 at the Nixon Presidential Library in Yorba Linda. Thank you to all who came to our free concert. Five of our string quartets plus a viola quintet prepared movements by Mozart….plus an encore!
Richard Anshutz Award
We always honor a student with the Richard Anshutz Award. Selected by the faculty and awarded to a 2nd year (or more) high quality musician, you may read about our winner(s) HERE: Dallas Chu, Joel Kim, Evan Kim, and Ethan Irianto.
