Speaker: Heather Walker, VIS 4 th Horn

Heather shares the twists and turns of her musical journey —from training and travel to life as a freelance musician. She’ll compare performing in both symphony and opera orchestras, how to navigate a full concert season, and what really happens in rehearsals and auditions. As a fitness instructor and posture specialist, Heather will also connect the dots between music, movement, and well-being.
