Message (as an Academy member) to PMF supporters

What are you looking forward to about PMF?

I treasure everything that the PMF offers and I believe that the diversity of musicians and the high standards of orchestra performance excellence at the PMF will provide an environment that will challenge me to develop the leadership, creativity, and interpersonal skills that I have been practicing and honing from the beginning of my musical journey. I also appreciate one of my dream opportunity to work with Berliner Philharmoniker, Wiener Philharmoniker, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Sapporo Symphony Orchestra, and musicians and other world class musician that PMF offers. Lastly, I am excited to perform the outreach concert so I can communicate with the outside of the community and be able to share my music with students, audiences and musicians and those who are curious to understand music more. I hope to learn more about how to feel music and perform it in a way that everyone can enjoy.
