This month, it’s 12-year-old violinist, Benny Taylor in the spotlight. He’s been playing violin for eight years and attends North Ranch Elementary. Benny has played with the Metropolitan Youth Orchestra for five years and has served as concertmaster. He comes from generations of professional violinists and says playing classical music puts him in awe. Some of his favorite pieces are Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite and Bizet’s Carmen. Benny’s also on the student council and loves reading and playing chess. Congratulations to our April honoree, Benny Taylor.

If you know a student between the ages of 7 and 13 who sings or plays an instrument, nominate them now for KBACH's Classical Next recognition.
