Josh Lee, a cellist, describes Western States as “a lifetime opportunity for students all over… to show their love of music, and it’s a great experience to work with others who have similar passions.” Students will start attending the weekend of strings November 2 to the 4. During the weekend, students will attend workshops and work with guest conductor German Gutierrez, as well as attending master classes held by cellist Robert deMaine.
