My daughter, Beach Jacket, has decided to start offering her services as a violinist in the Atlanta metro area after receiving offers to play in weddings there. Because there are so many members of this board from the Atlanta area, I thought I'd post the following. You can pm her if you're interested or know someone who would be interested in taking advantage of her services. Beach Jacket began playing the violin at the age of seven. She studied under Ms. Kerren Berz, current concertmaster of the Columbus Symphony Orchestra and whose [COLOR=black]work can be heard on albums by Outkast, Destiny's Child, Pink, Sinead O'Connor, and others[/COLOR]. From the age of eleven until she moved to Cambridge to attend MIT, Beach Jacket studied under Professor Patricio Cobos, retired chairman of the violin department at Columbus State University, current conductor of the LaGrange Symphony Orchestra, and current associate concertmaster of the Columbus Symphony Orchestra. When she was a participant in the Georgia Governor?s Honors Program, she also studied under Professor Manual Diaz, chairman of the viola department at Columbus State University and principal violist for the Columbus Symphony Orchestra. She made her debut at the LaGrange Symphony Orchestra at age eleven and was a member of the orchestra from age eleven until she left for college. She has performed in a string quartet at parties honoring former President Jimmy Carter, as well as at many other parties, weddings, graduations, church services, etc. She is currently a student at Georgia Tech and is available to provide her services as a violinist in the Atlanta metro area.
