She has a maturity to go along with her obvious technical and musical abilities, and that is the sign of a truly special musician. My mind boggles at the possibilities that lay at her feet going forward. Two of those opportunities are here, right now, for her. She&#8217;s been invited to attend the Viola Institute at Interlochen Center for the Arts, and the incredibly competitive Heifetz Institute in Virginia. Her family is in a tough financial bind right now, due to health concerns, and Maia is crowd funding the money needed to get to and pay tuition for these two incredible musical experiences.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"580\" height=\"327\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tX5s2NbAxUw?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>So, if you&#8217;re feeling like you want to make a difference, and actually SEE the difference happen in the life of a truly talented and deserving young musician, I urge you in the strongest possible terms to give what you can to the remarkable Maia Hoffman.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/8ootz8\" target=\"_blank\">You can do so by clicking on this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for your time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night I had the great privilege of hearing 17 year old violist Maia Hoffman play an extraordinary viola recital.
