Sip your coffee and start Sunday on a high note throughout July and August with Sunday Classical!

Violinists Ariel and Emma have been playing music together since they were about 5 years old in various musical settings including Vermont Suzuki Violins and the Vermont Youth Orchestra Association. Both Emma and Ariel were selected to be senior soloists with the Vermont Youth Orchestra this year, winning 2 out of 4 slots to play a concerto with the orchestra. Now graduating seniors—Ariel from Champlain Valley Union High School in Hinesburg and Emma from South Burlington High School—they will head to Williams College and Johns Hopkins University, respectively. They are excited to share a few duets at Sunday Classical, and to celebrate years of friendship, collaboration, and a shared passion for music.
