Elizabeth Chavez
2007 Concerto Winner
Elizabeth started playing the violin when she was 10 years old, and has been playing for 4 years. She has been involved with the Kadima Conservatory of Music for almost 3 years now. In the summer of 2005, Elizabeth was honored to receive the Jeremy Charles Phillips Scholarship, and since then has had the privilege of studying with Yi-Huan Zhao, and has served as the principal 2nd violinist for the Kadima Conservatory Philharmonic.
Along with the violin, Elizabeth also enjoys singing and acting. She has been involved in musical theatre since she was 8 years old. Her latest experience includes acting/stage-managing the Music Box, LBF productions for over a year, and also occasionally helping out backstage with the theatre club (Valley Collegiate Players) at Los Angeles Valley College. Elizabeth has just recently made her professional debut as an actress with MTG (Musical Theatre Guild) in their production of Street Scene, having the pleasure of performing at the Alex Theatre in Glendale, and the Civic Arts Plaza in Thousand Oaks.
During Elizabeth's spare time she likes to play the piano. She enjoys making music in any way she can, and she doesn't ever plan on stopping! Elizabeth feels very fortunate to be a part of and playing with such a wonderful group of musicians, and would like to thank Yi-Huan for being the amazing teacher that he is. And she would also like to thank her family and friends for all of their support!
