For this month's blog post, we are excited to sit down for a conversation with violinist Zachary Peterson.  Zachary is a longtime friend and colleague, who is currently finishing up his two year tenure with the Civic Orchestra of Chicago.  The Civic was first founded in 1919, and is the official training orchestra of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.  It offers young musicians the opportunity to develop their orchestral and musical skills by working with musicians and conductors from the Chicago Symphony, as well as guest artists from around the world.  We sat down to ask Zachary a few questions about his experiences of playing with, and auditioning for the Civic Orchestra.
