BIOLA HONORS STRING
QUARTET TOUR Sponsored by the Canadian Alumni Board, the Biola Honors String Quartet, accompanied by Mary Beth Woodruff, assistant professor of violin, performed in and around Vancouver, Canada in November. The tour included performances at the Vancouver Public Library and three Vancouver area Christian high schools. In addition, the quartet performed in a concert featuring string students from Calvin Dyck’s (Conservatory alumnus, ‘85) teaching studio, and provided music ministry at First Baptist Church of Vancouver. The quartet performed works by Schubert, Shostakovich, Ravel, Haydn, and Smetana. The current members of the quartet are Davina Hong, Yohan Shin, Karla West, and Denika Lam. Davina is from Kansas City, and is currently applying to graduate programs in violin. Denika is a senior cello performance major from southern California. Yohan is a freshman violin performance major from Hungary, where his parents are missionaries. Karla (Conservatory alumna, ‘02), originally from the Vancouver area, is serving as a teaching assistant to Professor Woodruff, while her husband completes graduate studies at the Talbot School of Theology. She, too, is currently applying for graduate studies in viola. The Honors Quartet performs annually around the greater Los Angeles area in a variety of venues including churches and private and public elementary, junior high and high schools. The quartet serves to encourage young musicians, both in the Christian church and wider artistic community, to pursue excellence in the study of stringed instruments and chamber music. |
