Sheeline Yu '21 was one of the two winners and will play Paganini's Violin Concerto in D Major with the orchestra in next year's winter concert.
Not content to settle for that honor, Sheeline auditioned the following week for the Middle Tennessee Band and Orchestra Association Mid-State Honors Orchestra and received the highest score among the violinists. She will be concertmaster of the 11-12 Orchestra in the upcoming Mid-State festival weekend in January. Stay tuned for notice of other USN instrumentalists who auditioned successfully for that group.
Congratulations to Sheeline!
