There were other qualified players that I could not squeeze on to the program. This is an outstanding group of young musicians playing some of the world\u2019s most beloved concertos. I truly believe these kids will grow up to change the world, and not just in music. I\u2019d like to thank John Van Buren for his support of our efforts to provide opportunities for young musicians.\u201d<\/p>\n
