Juliette Blais
The CSO Youth Orchestra Concerto Competition winner, Juliette Blais, will perform Camille Saint-Saëns Cello Concerto on Side By Side Concert. The concert will be Sunday at 3 p.m. at the Tivoli Theatre. Tickets are available here.
Ms. Blais has been the principal cellist of the CSO Youth Orchestra’s Symphony orchestra under Gary Wilkes since 2013. Her private instructor is currently Dr. Wesley Baldwin at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.
In her free time, Ms. Blais is a part of an informal youth chamber group comprised of members from three Chattanooga high schools. They rehearse frequently and perform at several private locations, but they especially enjoy busking on the Walnut Street Bridge, a center of city life in Chattanooga.
Ms. Blais currently attends Collegiate High at Chattanooga State Community College where she is enrolled in dual enrollment classes while pursuing her high school diploma. She plans to pursue music with a double major in educational policy at college.
