The concert features the winning CSO 2026 Young Artist, violinist Brianna Rose Baluyut of Clinton, IA, who will perform Mozart’s Third Violin Concerto, accompanied by the orchestra. She introduced herself: “My name is Brianna Rose Baluyut. I am a Senior in homeschool, and live with my family of nine (seven kids–I am the second-oldest) in Clinton, IA. I have been playing the violin since I was 12 (almost six years now), and began taking lessons here with Miss Amanda Carlson.
The following year, I became part of the Quad City Youth Symphony Ensembles. Since then, I’ve auditioned up from the bottom ensemble to the top one (Youth Symphony Orchestra!) This summer, I will be touring Spain and Portugal with them. I currently take lessons under Miss Sabrina Tabby (via Zoom.)
Other than playing my violin, I also love playing the piano, singing with my siblings, drawing, writing stories, reading, baking, and doing practically anything artsy or that involves my imagination. I plan to attending Emmaus University this fall to study Digital Arts and minor in music. Afterwards I plan to fulfill my longtime aspirations by playing within a professional orchestra. I especially dream of playing within a film orchestra. I want to use my talents to bless others and to glorify God.
I am honored to play alongside the Clinton Symphony Orchestra, and I am so thankful to have been given this incredible opportunity. Thank you, again, for inviting me to play alongside you all. I’m really looking forward to it!
