I am homeschooled, have played the violin for 7 years, in the Minnesota Youth Symphonies, and build WWII armor models. I love history, Russian literature, God, and listening to classical music. I play my violin all the time in orchestra, quartet, and as a soloist, which I hate. I'd much rather be an orchestral violinist than a soloist. I'm also interested in musicology, and I love going to the Minnesota Orchestra concerts.
