I recently had the pleasure of spending an hour with Rex Bufalino, the Youth Symphony of Southern Oregon's (YSSO) soloist for their Spring concert series. I've known Rex's family since his older brother was in my 7th grade English class about 8 years ago and it's been great watching this talented young man grow up over that time. My wife even played in a violin group with Rex a few years ago that traveled to Carnegie Hall in NYC. Great kid and I wish him the best with his upcoming concerts and look forward to hearing all about his future conquests at Chapman University in Minnesota starting next fall!
ed: Many apologies! Rex will be attending Carleton College in MN not Chapman (that's in Orange County, CA!). Sorry, Rex.
Here's a
link to the YSSO website and info about the upcoming concerts on May 15, 16, and 17th.
