Mira Yamamoto, recipient of a music scholarship from the Friends of Cascade Symphony and the Edmonds Rotary Club, spoke with the members of the Friends group recently.
Yamamoto is a freshman at The Juilliard School in New York City and is studying violin with Naoko Tanaka. She grew up in the Seattle area and during her last two years of high school she served as concertmaster of Seattle-based Thalia Symphony Orchestra under the baton of CSO Maestro Michael Miropolsky.
Yamamoto began playing violin at age 3 1/2. She was one of only nine violinists who were accepted to Juilliard last September. Those interested in assisting Yamamoto with her educational expenses can donate to her sustaining scholarship fund sponsored by the Friends of the Cascade Symphony. Send a check to Friends of Cascade Symphony with “Scholarship fund” in the memo line, to Judy O’Malley, treasurer, 1031 B Ave. S., Edmonds WA 98020.
