Violist Kayla<br />
Williams is an<br />

music, who hopes<br />
to diversify music<br />
through her own<br />

Florida, Kayla’s<br />
music endeavors<br />
began on the<br />
violin at age four,<br />
joining the Tallahassee Youth Orchestra<br />
soon after. It wasn’t until age ten that she<br />
discovered her true passion, the viola.<br />
As a winner <strong>of</strong> the 2018 Lynn Concerto<br />
Competition, she made her concerto debut<br />
performing Bartok’s Viola Concerto.<br />
Williams has been the guest <strong>of</strong> music<br />
festivals across a range <strong>of</strong> music genres<br />
including the Aspen Music Festival and<br />
School, Eastern Music Festival, and the<br />
