Mary Gallacher, cellist

Mary Gallacher, 14,  began playing cello in the 4th grade, after hearing her brother play cello for many years. She is now a 9th grader and plays in the Falls Church High School Chamber Orchestra (Fairfax County, Virginia). Mary began studying with John Kaboff, and quickly found a passion for the cello. Mary has been part of the Bow Lightlys ensemble for four years; she has enjoyed performing in recitals and community events. Mary's favorite piece is the Boccherini Concerto No. 3 in G Major. Outside of music, Mary enjoys spending time with family and friends, swimming on Falls Church’s varsity swim team, and reading. She will continue with cello throughout high school and will play the cello throughout her life as a hobby.
