AdYO continues to take pride in providing pathways for young people to gain real world professional opportunities. Most often, this occurs in the form of musical experiences. However, AdYO was thrilled to welcome Annika as our marketing and communications intern over several weeks from from April to June. Here, she reflects on her experience…
Music has always been a foundational force in Sarah’s life, with her family encouraging her to start violin at a young age. This passion eventually transitioned into high school, when she played Beethoven 5 for the first time. Her love of orchestral music has persisted through time, with her string quartet making headway locally.
Bassoonist Tim Rosen, who first started playing in 2007 with the Adelaide Youth Sinfonia, has come full circle as a chair supporter through AdYO’s ‘Take Your Seat’ program. “It [Playing in AdYO] helped me develop active listening skills which I use in everyday life.”
