For the last Alumni spotlight of #MusicinourSchool For the last Alumni spotlight of #MusicinourSchoolsMonth we want to showcase one of our alumni who is making a difference as a music teacher and performer.⁠ ⁠ Jaeyoung Chong (NYO 2012) is a trained and established cellist and a profound musician passionate in many artistic mediums such as improvisation, creative live performance, composition, electroacoustic technology, and music production.⁠ ⁠ His involvement with the New Brunswick Youth Orchestra goes all the way back to 2007. The majority of his training and involvement with @nbyo_onjb and @sistema_nb_moncton until today has contributed greatly to his cello playing and deeper perspectives to the world of music. Jaeyoung continues to be involved with Sistema NB as a full-time cello teaching artist and is a cello coach for NBYO. Most recently Jaeyoung (or Mr. Jae) has produced videos to explain how musicians create videos where everyone plays their parts and it is edited together to sound like a whole orchestra, and gone live on Instagram with Sistema to continue his incredibly engaging, and relevant teaching program. @jaecmusic you are an inspiration as an amazing cellist and teacher, we can't wait to see what your career holds for you next!
