We asked �������� faculty and students to tag posts of their summer travels with #��������Summer2016 so we could see highlights along the way. So, where in the world were our students this summer? Take a look!

�������� student Xiaohan Sun (viola, Irvine) posted the picture above with her fellow �������� violists attending the Aspen Music Festival and School. They also happen to all be students of �������� viola department co-head, Jeffry Irvine. In their post they added another hashtag:  #irvineinstituteofmusic. The Wall Street Journal wrote about the Aspen Music Festival earlier this month, saying that it �has played host to generations of promising young musicians since its official founding in 1951.�

Ariana Umbriac (Mezzo-Soprano, Billions) posed (above) with �������� faculty members Mary Schiller and Clifford Billions at the Salzburg Music Festival in Austria.

Audry Naffe (viola, Konopka) (above) participated in the 2016 Kent/Blossom Music Festival and posed here with her teacher, �������� faculty and Cleveland Orchestra member Stanley Konopka after their performance. Cleveland.com wrote of the performance that �Mitchell and his Kent State University charges gave a well-paced and nicely balanced reading of Beethoven Symphony No. 8 in F major., making of it so much more than simply an amuse-bouche before the main event.�
