Here are some of Miss price's favorite pictures.
First, Miss Price is
pictured with her dad, Jim, at Shakespeare's Garden at Northwestern University
in Evanston, IL. Then, Yo Yo Ma, the famous cellist, performed with Miss
Price's orchestra in 1993. This picture of Miss Price and Yo Yo was taken
immediately after the 1993 World Youth Symphony Orchestra concert in which
Yo Yo played the Dvorak cello concerto with Miss Price's orchestra.
Isnt' that the cutest
kitten you have ever seen?! Her name is Casey, and she is Miss Price's
Himalayan kitten. She is 3-years-old, and she is from Traverse City, Michigan.
Next, Miss Price is very proudly displaying her Bachelor of Music degree
after her college graduation on June 18, 1998.
Here is Miss Price
with some of her friends from graduate school. Over the summers, Miss Price
goes to Evanston and becomes a full-time student at Northwestern University.
She is working toward her Master of Music degree and will finish in July
2002. After a hard summer of classes, Miss Price and her friends visited
Mario Tricoci for haircuts and make-overs.
