Alum Aljavar McFarland shares his experience with the program and highlights its role in transforming students by nurturing both their musical and personal growth.
When McFarland first learned about the program and auditioned in fifth grade, he was hesitant to join. Today, as a sophomore at Arcadia University, he reflects on how that moment launched a journey of growth, confidence, and community.
McFarland, now a computer science major, dedicated seven years to MSO, rising to the position of concertmaster during the 2023-24 season. He also returned to perform at Musicopia's 50th Anniversary Concert, emceed fundraising events, interned with staff, and mentored younger students.
Upon starting rehearsals with MSO, Aljavar was surprised by how much more he was challenged compared to his school's music program. "I almost quit," he said, but a friend in the program encouraged him to stay, a decision that ultimately changed his life.
