Julius Adams performed with the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra last night at Symphony Hall. It was a wonderful performance, and it was amazing to see an Argonaut on that stage! What is particularly inspiring about Julius is that he didn't begin playing the viola until 5th grade, and he has never had private lessons.
He auditioned last spring for the CYSO, was accepted into the orchestra over the summer, and did his seating auditions at the beginning of the school year. He is a member of three different groups within the CYSO, including their top group, and with these groups, he will be performing around the Chicago area throughout the spring. He even plans on touring China with them this summer.
Mrs. Perry, Mr. Mamminga, and Mrs. Guldin were able to attend Sunday night (there may have been other teachers!), and also parents, and current and former Argo students there in support of Julius.
