This recital is in partial fulfillment for a Master of Music degree in Violin Performance from the USC Thornton School of Music. Ms. Mindoro is a student of Hagai Shaham.
Ms. Mindoro’s passion for the violin started at the age of 10 when she was chosen to be part of the Disney’s Young Musicians Symphony Orchestra. She pursued her love for the violin until she earned the opportunity to attend top-ranking music conservatories in college: the Eastman School of Music, the Manhattan School of Music and the Thornton School of Music at USC where she is now completing her Master’s Degree in Violin Performance. She has soloed with the La Jolla Symphony, the San Diego Young Artists Symphony, and the International Philharmonia of Tijuana, Mexico. She has also won many awards and merit scholarships for violin. Her teachers include Michael Gaisler, Hernan Constantino, Abram Shtern, Zvi Zeitlin, Laurie Smukler, Lyndon Taylor, Margaret Batjer and Hagai Shaham.

It was my family's privilege to witness the recital of Lauren at the Brand library. The last time I heard her perform was at AUP (PUC then) when she was probably 10 years old. I did get a video of her recital before she studied at the Eastman School of Music. She should be heard by more people. She is has certainly matured as a musician and plays from the heart.
I invited her to play at the White Memorial church the following day, but requested for a later date. Today, April 26, she played for Sabbath School and provided inspiring music for our churhc service. She also played the violin with Cecile Cruz, as part of the accompaniment for our anthem. it's so good to see our young people use their talents for the Lord.
