A select number of Maggie Walker Orchestra students under the direction of their teacher, Ms. Allison Barnes, performed for the Capitol Square Holiday Reception yesterday, December 11th hosted by Governor Glenn Youngkin and the First Lady of Virginia Suzanne Youngkin. The students performed in one of the ballrooms of the Governor’s Mansion while the public toured the mansion and met the Governor.
We are proud these students so beautifully represented their school at this event; Reese Wu, ’24-Chesterfield, Fielding Teague, ’25-Chesterfield, Ally Lichtman, ’24- Henrico, Simone Spalding, ’24-Henrico, and Peter Yanovitch, ’25-Chesterfield.
“Everyone in attendance commented on how professional our students were and how well they played!,” said orchestra teacher Ms. Allison Barnes. The Dragon’s reputation for excellence is the reason they received this distinct honor.
