Gala Yaroshevsky is a charming young woman and a charismatic force in the musical world of San Francisco’s Bay Area.  Her creation of the Orange Studio is a new and vibrant center for learning for young aspiring musicians.  It was such a joy for me to work with some of these talented youngsters recently in a master class at the Studio.  I was inspired by the home-like setting Gala has provided and the rapt attentiveness of the youngsters there.  I sense that Gala's energy, love and joie de vivre have everything to do with this.  To grab kids’ attention by the ear at an early age is so very important and can change their lives for the better in important ways.  To nurture, inspire them and ignite them is our mission as musicians. Gala is doing this brilliantly in her little conservatory in San Jose, California."
