Fort Bend ISD to Host Annual String Fling, February 4

FORT BEND ISD ― Fort Bend ISD will host its annual String Fling on Thursday, February 4, 2010, at 7:00 p.m. at the Wheeler Field House (located at 16403 Lexington Blvd. in Sugar Land). This free event will showcase the talents of FBISD’s middle school beginner orchestra students and feature Crystal Plohman, internationally recognized fiddle/violin performer, as guest clinician/performer.

Plohman began her musical training at the age of six in the Suzuki violin program at Brandon University in Canada. Having grown up in a musical household with a fiddling champion for a father, Plohman quickly progressed in both the classical and folk music scene. By age seven, she was competing in weekend fiddling competitions across the continent. With more than 18 years of North American competition experience, she has won numerous awards and titles, including at state and international levels.
