(more…)Today we welcome three new summer interns to ArtsLink NB!
Gabrielle Carruthers grew up in Bathurst, New Brunswick, and began studying tuba in high school at age thirteen. She played tuba with the New Brunswick Youth Orchestra from 2013 until finishing her Bachelor of Music degree at the Université de Moncton in 2017. Currently, Gabrielle studies tuba at the master’s level at McGill University. Before moving to Montreal, she played with local orchestras such as Tutta Musica, Symphony New Brunswick, and the East Coast Brass quintette. With her background in music, Gabrielle looks forward to working with other artists at ArtsLink NB this summer!
Jean Schnell is very fond of both the physical and musical arts. They write, “Music and art have been a common practice in my family for many years. I play guitar, piano, ukulele, and bass. I also enjoy singing and writing music. I love animals of all kinds but cats are definitely my favourite. Currently I am a high school student but I hope to pursue secondary school in the future.”
Lessa Thornton is a high school student wishing to pursue animation as a career. She writes, “I am an active member of New Brunswick arts programs as I am in my local Saint John Youth Orchestra, as well as the provincial New Brunswick Youth Orchestra where I play French Horn. I have participated in local and provincial music festivals and will be a proud member of SHAD McGill this year. In my free time I am always doodling designs down or consuming different types of media to inspire my art (if I have no homework to do). I am always looking for new ways to explore the arts and interact with interesting people within the community.”
Welcome to the team Gabrielle, Jean, and Lessa!
