Update on the Orquesta de los Barrios

In August the Orquesta de los Barrios incorporated a new member: Alexis Apaza, a talented young violinist about to turn 15!

Orquesta de los Barrios violinist Victoria Ramos has been awarded a full two-month scholarship by the Fundación Musizap to study violin in France. She will be given classes in Paris by prominent violinist David Haraoutunian of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Radio France, who in addition to being artistic director of several music festivals, dedicates much of his time to music teaching and outreach. This is an excellent opportunity for such a talented young musician as Vicky to hone her skills and experience the world of music in Paris, a mecca of arts of all kinds. Congratulations to Vicky!!!
