SUMMARY:Sky Island Performance - American Dreams
DESCRIPTION:Main Event:\nJoin us on Saturday\, February 7\, 2026\, for our Sky Island Performance. Our performance will feature string trio by Dohnányi and the ever-famous “American” string quartet by Dvorak and a surprise jazzy addition. \nGet Tickets Here: http://wjarts.org/american-dreams\n\n\nMeet our Guest Violinist!\nThis concert will feature guest violinist Claire Armstrong. \nInspired by the classical music radio channel her father would play on the drive to school\, Claire Armstrong began learning the violin at age 11 after a few years of begging. After proving to her parents she would practice\, she began taking lessons with Ryan Teynor whom she studied with for 7 years. During this time\, she further developed her love for music and was inspired to pursue a career as a Violin Instructor as a means to create a safe space for students to find belonging and self-expression through music. Determined to make music a centerpoint of her life\, she auditioned and was accepted to Caine College of the Arts at Utah State University(USU). \nUnder the mentorship of Professor Rebecca McFaul with additional guidance from the Fry Street Quartet\, Claire developed a great passion for chamber music\, playing in numerous chamber ensembles\, working with living composers\, and participating in the Fry Street Quartet Summer Chamber Music Camp in 2021 and 2022. Furthering her experience\, she also performed with the USU Symphony Orchestra\, USU Opera\, in solo and collaborative recitals\, and had the opportunity to write and record the violin part for 5 original songs by varying Artists. \nWhile pursuing her Performance Degree\, Claire also developed her teaching skills by running a small studio; In her final semester\, she was hired by USU as a Violin Instructor for Non-Major students. Additionally\, with guidance from Professor McFaul\, she developed and taught a course for Music Major Freshman to prepare them for the degree ahead. As a proud recipient of the Chamber Music Project Internship\, Claire had the opportunity to share her passion for chamber music by teaching young musicians. While completing the internship\, she orchestrated the “Side-by-Side Project\,” which provided young musicians the opportunity to play alongside collegiate volunteers. The following summer\, she was hired as a coach for young musicians for the Chamber Music Project Summer Camp. In support of the arts\, Claire also served as a Caine Ambassador for 3 years where she promoted her College and encouraged students to pursue artistic degrees. Music has been a pivotal element in Claire’s life\, providing her with a safe space for personal growth\, creative expression\, and belonging. Now\, having earned her degree\, she looks forward to creating that same space for others through teaching and performing music. \n  \n\n  \nWant more concerts like this one?
