“The TCU Symphony Orchestra was invited to perform at the Texas Music Educators Association Convention, the largest gathering of music educators and musicians in the United States. This opportunity allowed many of us to network, participate in clinics, watch performances and gain firsthand insight into how conventions function. It was an invaluable experience that will inform our future careers.”
