Every year I get to play the School of American Ballet Workshop, something special happens — I look around the orchestra pit and see familiar faces, see incredible young dancers taking their next steps toward professional life, and remember that I was once a first-year undergrad at Juilliard always excited to perform on a fun large scale production.
From section player to principal viola, SAB has been a constant thread through my musical life — and honestly, one of the highlights of my musical year! There’s something deeply moving about being part of a production that exists entirely to prepare young artists for the road ahead. The training, the artistry, the dedication these dancers bring? Exceptional, year after year.
To the graduating hs dancers stepping into professional life — you are so ready. Congratulations to all 🩰 🎻✨ The School of American Ballet
