“My teacher, Ms. Magdolna, has taught me everything I know about the violin,” said Angilia Zheng, a young CEMALA violinist. “She has shown me a world of music that I am extremely grateful for."
These L.A., San Gabriel Valley, San Marino, and Alhambra residents, who have also performed on an Italian concert tour, were invited to the White House, Washington, D.C.; Carnegie Hall; New York; LA Lakers; Seaworld; Universal Studios; and Disneyland.
The invitation to the White House inspired all of the CEMALA members. Children between ages 6 and 13 performed.
Classical European Music Academy Los Angeles’ (CEMALA) Chamber Orchestra performed at Carnegie Hall in New York for the first time on June 18.
CEMALA returned from a concert tour from July 2-16 traveling to Rome, Florence, and Venice in Italy where they plated three converts in 1,000-year-old historical buildings.
