"Virtuosi of Houston proved to be one of those turning points in life for our daughter, Sara. Prior to auditioning for and being accepted in Virtuosi, we had been looking for some way in which to expand and enhance Sara's musical education. Virtuosi provided us with the way to move forward. From the very first rehearsal, it was evident that the training would be intense and, given the obvious dedication of the maestros, the quality of instruction would be high. Additionally, it was apparent that the deliberately small size of this chamber orchestra would also ensure much more individualized attention than was possible in large city youth orchestras. Virtuosi exceeded our expectations from the beginning. We believe that Sara's success in music can be traced back to the education, support and encouragement she received at Virtuosi. In fact, Sara recently admitted to us that before Virtuosi, she was ready to give up on music. But now, because of Virtuosi, Sara has found a passion that she has chosen to make into a career."
Nelson and Catherine Ordóñez
parents of Sara who recently completed her first year in the pre-college division at Juilliard and earned the position of first chair viola for the first concert
