When I read the advertised vacancy for the position of intern with LMM, I applied immediately. The opportunity looked too good to miss, and the most attractive thing about it was the dual nature of the organisation. The side which deals with recognising and advancing the careers of professional violinists, LMM Awards, excited me as someone who has learned the violin, and the educational programme within the charity, the Bridge Project, appealed to me due to my strong interest in education and my experience working in primary schools in the past.
LMM Artist Elena Urioste stepped in at the last minute to replace Tai Murray in a performance of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto with the Richmond Symphony Orchestra on March 20-21, and received an outstanding reception! An audience member tells us there was so much applause after the first movement that the conductor finally had to turn around to quiet the audience, followed by a standing ovation through 2 curtain calls at the end of the third movement.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch gave Elena a fantastic review:
