This is going to be awesome, friends!  Here's a little taste of what we will be performing, thanks to the amazing Danish String Quartet for providing their arrangements.
  For over four years, Grow Music was fortunate to have permission to use the work of Gary Blehm, aka Penmen, for our logo. We love this cartoon!  However, as we progress into the future with our little music school, we decided it was time to have our own logo design that we can use freely. We are excited to share what we came up with! Let us know what you think.   Let us know what you think! : )
  We'll be doing instrument petting zoos, music classes for kids and families, and playing a mix of chamber music, pop songs, and whatever else we feel like playing! Come on down and enjoy the whole event!!  Grow Music Missoula had representation in the 2023 YOLA National Orchestra Festival! This fine, young musician attended the 10-day intensive that culminated with a performance in Walt Disney Concert Hall on Saturday, July 15, 2023. At 14 years of age, she was one of 6 cellists selected from a national audition to be a part of the YOLA Chamber Orchestra. The week was full of rehearsals with amazing professional teaching artists from institutions throughout the country, music workshops with current members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, a trip to see John Williams conduct live at the Hollywood Bowl, a live music performance and dance party at the Ford Amphitheater, lifelong music buddy friendship-building, and an ice cream date with Gustavo Dudamel. The week ended with a final concert that was absolutely INCREDIBLE!

Grow Music celebrates another graduating senior! We have known Evan since they were in middle school and have enjoyed their contribution, musicality, and thoughtful curiosity with music, arranging, and creative expression. It's been wonderful to have Evan's support in Cello Mafia this semester, as well.  Below is a bit about Evan - we wish them the very best at MIT and wherever else the future leads to!
Evan Lofink is a 2023 graduating senior from Hellgate High School. They have been a longtime participating member of the Cello Mafia. Evan chose the cello in 5th grade because they liked the voice and versatility of the instrument. Since then, Evan has played in school orchestras, Cello Mafia, other student ensembles, Missoula Youth Symphony, and a small cover group that they helped create during junior year. Evan began mentoring for the Cello Mafia in order to share their interest in cover music with other cellists, as well as to support the group in a new way. Outside of cello, Evan’s interests include cross country running, hiking, drawing, playing piano, and STEM. Evan will be attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology next year, with plans to pursue a degree in Mathematics. |
