Enkela Ndoni
Enkela Ndoni is a 17-year-old Senior at Webster Groves High School. She is thrilled to return for her second season as a full-time violinist with the St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra. Ndoni has studied viola for nine years and currently studies with Joanna Mendoza. At Webster Groves High School, she serves as principal violist and has consistently earned gold ratings at the state solo and ensemble competition.
In addition to performing with the Statesmen String Ensemble at her school, Ndoni has participated in the Preparatory Program and the Young People’s Symphonic Orchestra at the Community Music School of Webster University. She has also attended the Arianna Chamber Music Festival, where she grew as a musician under the guidance of the Arianna String Quartet.
Outside of music, Ndoni enjoys traveling and playing tennis. She would like to express her gratitude to all the musicians and mentors who have shaped her musical journey, especially Orchestra Director Andrew Pulliam and the Arianna String Quartet, as well as her friends and family for their constant support.
