Anna Erickson, ’15
By Jacob West, Development Coordinator
Anna Erickson played violin in GTCYS for five years, moving from Concert Orchestra to Philharmonic and ending with three years in Symphony.
She currently serves as a pastor in Holland, Michigan, preaching and working with college students. When she’s not preaching or coaching basketball, she plays fiddle in a folk band called Michigan-IO and violin in her church.
Some of Anna’s GTCYS highlights include playing Dvořák’s New World Symphony or Shostakovich 5. Looking back on her years in GTCYS, she shares:
“My musical experiences during GTCYS are genuinely a highlight of my life. I especially value the opportunity I had as a teenager to play such masterwork pieces. I did not pursue music professionally, and I look back at GTCYS with deep gratitude for the beautiful moments I was able to share in.”
