Orchestra Summer Camp 2026

Genuinely, the best 3 days of my life. This summer, my youth orchestra went to The Healing Park for a 3-day summer camp, and it was so memorable. From eating meals with the YISS gang to practicing for 8 hours straight, I already miss it so much.

Some of my favorite highlights were the duets I played for the 향상음악회 — "Joy, Sorrow, A Beautiful Heart" by AKMU with Rachel, and "Breathe" by Lee Hi with Woosung — along with our late-night talks, playing Impostor, bottle flipping with the kids, and all the rhythm games that made my heart so full. We worked on Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 for most of the camp, and it was exhausting, but it really pushed my stamina and focus to another level.

I'm so grateful for opportunities like this, to meet amazing people and just play my instrument. I know not everyone gets experiences like these, and it makes me reflect on how lucky I am. I truly love music, and I feel like I made so many real friendships this camp! I'm genuinely going to miss the YISS gang (Serene, Chloe, Matt, me, Woosung, Andy), and I can't wait to see what our upcoming performances will look like. It is truly amazing how music brings people together.

Below are some of my favorite pictures ;)
