Westminster Student Accepted into St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra

Rebecca Liu, a sophomore at Westminster Christian Academy, was selected as a second violinist for membership in the 2013-14 season of the St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra.

This is Liu’s second season with the orchestra, and she is thrilled to be returning for another exciting year.

At a young age, Liu developed a love for music from her father, a Suzuki violin teacher. At age four, she began studying violin with her current instructor, Susan McDonald, and received extra tutelage from her father at home. Both of her parents have been supportive and encouraging of Liu’s musical endeavors.
