We were pleased to host the Minnesota Orchestra’s Crescendo Project at our shop on November 16, 2011, which 55 Crescendo Project members attended. We set up learning stations to demonstrate violin making with Doug Lay and Michael Adams of the Minnesota Orchestra; restoration with Andrew Dipper; and violin history and listening to fine violins with Claire Givens and Peter McGuire of the Minnesota Orchestra. It was a great opportunity to work with young symphony enthusiasts and share our expertise.
