Congratulations to Fisher Yu (viola, student of Amy Chang) spent his summer with Carnegie
Hall’s NYO2 NYO-USA / NYO2 / NYO Jazz — and was named co-principal viola of the orchestra 💫

Fisher was one of 89 musicians, ages 14 to 16, selected from across the country for NYO2’s
tenth-anniversary season. During the two-week residency he was coached by Li-Kuo Chang, professor of viola at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music and longtime assistant principal viola of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

On July 30 the orchestra performed in Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium under conductor Mei-Ann
Chen, with violinist Tessa Lark as guest soloist — Márquez, Gabriela Lena Frank, Torke’s “Sky,”
Gershwin’s “An American in Paris,” and Respighi’s “Pines of Rome” — then took the program on tour
to Santiago and Santo Domingo.

Congratulations, Fisher — and to Ms. Amy Chang, who has prepared and taught him since the 4th grade 👏

A few of our chamber ensembles from the 2025-26’ academic year! 📸

Part of raising the brightest young musicians in the Southeast means making chamber music education, experiences, and coachings with great chamber artists and faculty as accessible as possible. It was great to see so many WPMA students participating in chamber music programs over the Summer and eager to continue their chamber studies in the coming year.

06/03/2026

Over the 2025-26 season, over 100 WPMA students presented 10 concerts in our revamped Monthly Spotlight Concert Series. 💫

These students performed works from 46 different composers and spent nearly 40 hours rehearsing with and performing alongside professional staff accompanists in front of the most supportive audience of loving parents.

For some students performing here was a nerve wracking experience—one of their first solo performances in front of a live audience—while for others this was just another routine performance opportunity they used as preparation for an upcoming audition, competition, masterclass, or performance with an orchestra. Regardless, it was wonderful to hear you perform and an honor to have been witness to your growth, no matter what stage you are at!

Keep working hard and sharing your music with audiences, and we look forward to seeing you back in the spotlight come Fall 💌

Last Saturday, our chamber students took the stage for our spring chamber music recital — and delivered! Their performances reminded us why chamber music continues to be an essential pillar in a young musician’s maturation. The growth showcased was genuinely impressive and a testament to their consistent practice and depth of instruction from the past year. 💐

The highlight of the afternoon came when chamber students and audience members had the opportunity to sight-read Mendelssohn’s Octet alongside four members of our WPMA faculty. Watching students rise to the challenge in real time was nothing short of joyful.

Grateful to our faculty for making events like this possible! More to come.

34 WPMA students earned 54 top honors at the 2026 GMTA State Auditions — representing nearly 1 in 6 awards given across the Piano and Strings divisions statewide. From Conference Recitalist to Honorable Mention, this year’s results reflect the dedication of our students and the exceptional teaching of our faculty. We commend everyone who competed! 🫰

“About the GMTA Competition

The Georgia Music Teachers Association is a nonprofit organization of over 700 independent and collegiate music teachers throughout the state, committed to furthering the art of music through programs that encourage and support teaching, performance, and scholarly research. The State Auditions recognize the top students across various instrumental disciplines from grades 2 through 12, and represent the final level of a multi-round competitive process that begins at the local and regional levels. Outstanding Performer is the highest award given at the state level, and only one student per grade level per division is selected as Conference Recitalist — an honor that includes a performance at the fall GMTA Conference.”
