What a fantastic weekend at the KASTA Summer Conference!

A big congratulations to Jillian Campa and Bailey Jensen for representing the Wichita State Viola Studio. We are so proud of the way they represented our program!

Our string faculty was also well represented. Dr. Laycock presented an outstanding conducting masterclass for string educators, and Dr. Balboa had the privilege of conducting the Middle School Honors Orchestra.

Thank you to KASTA for a wonderful conference filled with learning, collaboration, and inspiring music making. We are already looking forward to next year!
