Natalie Poorman, CHS violinist, was a part of the 2020 High School and Young Adult Honors Performance Series program at Carnegie Hall and the Musikverein this past January! The Finalists hail from 48 U.S. states, Guam, 4 provinces of Canada, Bermuda, China, Germany, Hong Kong, Mexico, Qatar, South Korea, and Taiwan. They had a fantastic weekend rehearsing and performing at Carnegie Hall.
Natalie is the first violinist to be selected from the Collierville HS Orchestra and the third string student from our program. Additionally she participated in All-West this past weekend and will be at All-State in April. She is the Concertmaster for our orchestra. She will continue this role as we go into our local competition in Memphis and a National Competition in Chicago in March. She is an active musician and has a very good reputation locally which is earning her paying gigs.
Congratulations Natalie! We are so proud!
