For my artistic supplement, I chose to play the first movement of the Boccherini Concerto in B-Flat major.
I thank Mr. Boccherini for writing this piece, and Mr. Greutzmacher for re-arranging it. I also thank my teachers Henry Lewers and  Mark Ferguson for the piano accompaniment, my cello teacher Cameron Sawzin for her help with preparing the piece, and cellist Jaqueline du Pre for inspiration. Please enjoy!
The recommendation letter from a music teacher is attached with the rest of the school forms.
A quick musical biography:
I started to play the cello in fourth grade. In seventh grade, I joined a local youth orchestra, and then,  in eighth grade, a cello quartet. In ninth grade I was part of a real chamber orchestra for the first time, and that setting which allows for individual expression while still requiring interdependence became my passion. A year later, after most of the players in last year's chamber group left for college, I found my own trio - "The Three Stringateers" with two violinists. I also discovered jazz and improvisation, which was a new area for me where I had to work hard to achieve success. It is the direction where I'd like to go to with my cello in the upcoming years.
When I moved to New Hampshire and into a new school that is an active participant in the New Hampshire All-State program, I began to be involved there, earning the position of third chair in my junior year and being asked to attend the selective Honors Ensemble, as well as All-Nationals (which I declined due to financial hardships). I was also accepted again in my senior year.
Today, I teach, play the principal cellist in the community sinfonietta (two years), and play in the school's advanced chamber orchestra.
