Along with performing with his high school’s orchestra, he also performed with the Deep Creek Chamber Quartet Ensemble and the Flowing Tide Ceilidh (Pronounced KAY-lee) Band. The past four years have been busy for Sean. Along with composing, he auditioned and was accepted into the Chesapeake All-City Honors Symphony Orchestra and Southeastern District Senior Regionals Orchestra every single year. This past year, he auditioned and was accepted into the All-Virginia All-State Symphony Orchestra. Sean thanks Vahn Armstrong for this accomplishment. Mr. Armstrong, the Concertmaster for the Virginia Symphony Orchestra, gave Sean private lessons throughout this past yearfor which Sean is very grateful. It seems that Sean was destined for music. He comes from a family where almost every single person plays a musical instrument! When he was little, he used to listen to tunes from the radio or elsewhere and then play them on his grandmother’s piano. He began playing the violin at 10. His older and much loved sister, Karen, was his main influence in choosing to study the violin. Sean will now be attending George Mason University where he will be studying musical performance and conducting. Hannah Whitlock Annika, now 16 years old, was a student at Bethel Christian School in Hampton, VA - having finished her sophomore year there. Currently, she is homeschooling so that she can devote more of her time towards studying music. Hannah began playing the violin right before her fifth birthday and has had a busy and successful time since then. At the age of 12, she was awarded a full merit scholarship to attend the prestigious Interlochen Arts Camp. She has auditioned for and been accepted into many performing ensembles, serving as the concertmaster of the Bay Youth Concert Orchestra and Principal Second Violin of the Bay Youth Symphony Orchestra. Now, she is a member of its 1st violin section. She was the only 9th grade violinist chosen for the 1st violin section of the Southeast Region Senior Regional Orchestra in 2009, she and won the Assistant Concertmaster position of the Southeast Region Senior Regional Orchestra in 2010. Along with competing in and winning numerous competitions, she is also part of a chamber group at Bethel Christian School. Hannah also enjoys performing in her church’s orchestra and regularly playing with her family, as well. Note This!
