This year, we have three graduating high schools seniors who have been a part of our program for many years. Two of these students will be continuing on to pursue Music Education degrees. The other student has defeated many odds and has had multiple surgical operations done on his hearing while being a part of our program – he will continue on in college to play in the University Orchestra at his new school. We love to see how our students grow throughout our program, but we especially love seeing them go on out into the world to continue loving and pursuing music!

The University of South Carolina String Project, now in its 44thyear, has won national recognition, including the Verner Award and a documentary on South Carolina ETV celebrating the 20th anniversary of the program. When the University of South Carolina String Project was founded in 1974 there was just one small string program in the Columbia metropolitan area. Now all five school districts in the Columbia area have large and active string programs, with orchestras in every high school and six regional youth orchestras.
