This will elevate our students to heights they can't imagine. People I have spoken with who have performed in Carnegie with collegiate groups have all said that the experience completely changed the players' expectations, standards, and even their approach to music. While in New York, symphony members will act as musical ambassadors for the department, the University, and the state. The appearance will also boost recruiting efforts, Warren said, by placing the Symphony alongside other elite band programs in the U.S. and thereby making the U of A more competitive nationally for the best musicians. The UA Office of Development is accepting donations in support of the Carnegie appearance.
