I am CJ Klinman and I am a cellist at Boston String Academy (BSA)! I am currently an 8th grader at Boston Latin school, and music has always been a big part of my life. In addition to being a member of the Youth Ensemble, I play in the Elementa string quartet with a few other BSA members. I have played in programs such as YOLA National Festival, Greenwood, and Point Counterpoint, as well as played as a soloist with the Newton Philharmonic orchestra and more recently, an octet. BSA has allowed me to discover and cultivate new skills and techniques, as well as given me wonderful friends and opportunities. I'm so very grateful for the gift and knowledge of music that this program has given me!
