PSO Panel Discussion

Description

When your child develops an interest or hobby, how do you help him or her become successful in this area? What are the benefits of nurturing excellence in an interest such as music or athletics - even if it doesn’t become a career goal? The PlayHouse is partnering with the Peoria Symphony Orchestra to present a panel, moderated by Maestro George Stelluto, addressing these questions. For more information, visit the PlayHouse website at www.peoriaplayhouse.org or call (309) 323-6900. The panel discussion features three world class achievers: Richard Hirschl, professional cellist with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and head of strings at Roosevelt University in Chicago. Elsayed Emara, member of the Egyptian National fencing team and US Fencing Coaches Association; head coach at Peoria Fencing Academy. Dr. Lamont Barlow, a Urologist trained at Harvard and Columbia who also served as associate principal Bassoon for the New England Philharmonic while in Boston. As a 16 year-old at Interlochen, he was featured on From the Top, and he continues to play and enter competitions as a medical resident in New York City.
