I want to sincerely thank you for introducing Katherine to the world of orchestra and for nurturing her musical growth throughout her time at HKIS. Being a violinist in both the Caprice and Onsom Orchestras has been deeply meaningful to her. Your guidance and encouragement have helped her grow not only as a musician but also as a confident and collaborative young person.

Thank you again for your dedication, inspiration, and the important role you’ve played in Katherine’s musical journey. We are truly grateful.
