Amy Faust speaks with 17-year old violinist Rylan Ferron-Jones, a violin player with the Metropolitan Youth Symphony who also plays with their ensemble the MYSfits. A senior at Lincoln High School, Rylan has a penchant for challenging pieces, one of which -Prima Vera Portena by Piazzolla- he performed in the small ensemble category of the OMEA competition and took first place for the Portland district.
Rylan is currently in the thick of college applications, and hopes to attend a school that has a robust music department along with a good engineering program. Outside of music, his passions do NOT include video games or social media, but he does love a good arthouse film.
