15 years of friendship, music, and mountains. 🏔️🎻 Principal violist Désireé Elsevier @desireeelsevier has been with Classical Tahoe from the very beginning. She says the experience has changed her life far beyond the stage, from lifelong friendships formed with audience members to discovering a love of hiking at altitude. “I am not the same person I was fifteen years ago, due in large part to the opportunity that I have been given to come to Classical Tahoe – the performing, the people and the nature.” Photos from Désireé (including one of the car whose door slam led her to some great friends! 😎) Read the full Musician Stories blog post on our website: /musician-stories-desiree-elsevier/ Désireé Elsevier, Principal Viola, has been with Classical Tahoe since 2012. A former member of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra @metorchestra , she now performs regularly with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra @dallassymphony and The Dallas Opera @thedallasopera , and has appeared with ensembles across the U.S. and Europe, including international concerts with the World Orchestra for Peace. #classicaltahoe #viola #laketahoe
