Youth Steering Committee

Hi! My name is Natalia Xia, and I am a grade 12 student at Pacific Academy. I play the flute in the Symphony division and this is my sixth year at RDYO. Besides playing the flute, I enjoy reading, snowboarding, and playing the piano. As a member of the Youth Steering Committee, I hope to share my passion for music with other young musicians and help grow and strengthen our community.

Hello! My name is Ivan Chung and I am a clarient player in the Symphony Orchestra Division. I am a Grade 12 student studying in Seaquam Secondary School and this is my fifth year in RDYO. Besides playing clarinet, I like to play drums, badminton, listen classical and jazz music. As a new Youth Steering Committee, I would like to encourage my music expriences to Junior and Senior Winds members, in order to let them have a smoother transition from Wind Ensemble to Symphony Orchestra.

My name is Levi Tolentino. I am in grade 12 and attend Hugh McRoberts Secondary. I have been a member of RDYO for six years and currently play trombone for the Senior Winds Division. If I am not found practicing an instrument, I will most likely be biking, skiing, or catching up on sleep. As part of the Youth Steering Committee, I want to bring social skills to help bond orchestra members and create an inclusive family which in turn will allow our community to become well-knit. I would also like to help newer members of the orchestra by supporting and giving them the confidence that they need to shine. I hope that this will start a chain reaction, allowing younger musicians to find their joy and passion in music.

Hi! My name is Tim, and I'm 17 years old. I play the clarinet in the Symphony division. Outside of music, I enjoy photography and have a passion for graphic design. As a member of the Youth Steering Committee, I hope my contributions help raise awareness about RDYO, encourage more people to join, and inspire others to pursue their passion for music.
