The La Crosse Symphony Orchestra is excited to announce that Titus Gundersen, cello, will be returning for one more year as the Fellow of the La Crosse Symphony Orchestra. His stay in La Crosse will be spent working with a local middle school, performing for the Emplify Health Music Healing program, becoming involved with the Boys and Girls Club Free Violin Lessons program, and interacting with patrons at the Guest Artist Society events and post-concert coffee and treats. This experience will allow him to gain valuable mentorship experience from members of the Orchestra, audition preparation, and education and community engagement training.
