Laney Conter

I've had a passion for music since a young age. I grew up surrounded by a family of violinists, and was finally able to participate in the family tradition at the age of eleven, when I joined the school orchestra in the fifth grade. Since then, nothing has been able to stop me from playing music. I'm currently a strong member of Western Branch High School's Bruin Symphonia Orchestra. With this group, I performed at Carnegie Hall in 2018, and won several individual awards at various other competitions.

Over the last year or so I've ventured off from the violin, picking up on a few other instruments including the piano, mandolin, and cello. I am currently a student of Simon Lapointe from the Virginia Symphony and I plan on attending college for Music Education, so that I can share my love for music with those who seek its wonders.
