<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>\u201cAs a half-Canadian, I enjoyed learning more about Canada’s government. Getting to eat Beavertails for the first time was a highlight. I had an absolute blast at the National Arts Centre Orchestra concert, as well as at dinner with the De La Salle students before. It was fun to get to know some of them better. The reception after our concert was lots of fun as well. Another great benefit from the trip was the camaraderie that developed between AMP students. I feel like having this shared experience brought the orchestra together in ways we weren’t before, and I hope this carries over into next year!\u201d<\/h5>\n-Priya Gingrich, a 15-year-old cellist, reflects on experiencing Canadian culture, and growing closer with her ensemble during the Senior Youth Orchestra’s Spring Break trip to Ottawa, Canada.<\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>![](\"https:\/\/atlantamusicproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2024_04_05_AMP_VISIT_TO_OTTAWA_933_websize.jpg\" "\\"AMP")

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>“The De La Salle High School orchestra students brought a lot of emotion to the music, and I think that came from the energy in the room. Their conductor, Mr. Hutt, was cracking jokes the entire time, and as an ensemble, they were just happy. They genuinely seemed to have so much fun being there with us, like we did with them.
