Recently, we had our debut in Carnegie’s Weill Hall during the Association of Performing Arts Presenters. We consider ourselves fortunate to be counted among a handful of young artists at APAP who will continue to shape the future of classical music. We truly enjoyed the opportunity to share ideas and insights with our colleagues and other professionals who continue to pave the way for music making around the world.
