Miss Utah joins in concert

Miss Utah, JessiKate Riley, started in our Suzuki Strings Cedar City program when she was three. We had asked her to be a guest artist for our spring concert and she gave lovely comments about how important music is in her life and played a Bach Adagio. She then joined in with the students on the rest of concert which was unexpected and lots of fun. We love our service oriented students.
