Youth Orchestra
Ian Jenkins
Ian Jenkins, 15, is currently a sophomore at Ladue Horton Watkins High School. This is his first year playing with the St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra.
Jenkins began playing the viola at 7 under the guidance of Eliana Haig. Since 2022, he has studied under Ingrid Popp and currently he is searching for a new viola instructor to further his musical education. Previously, Jenkins has participated in the Community Music Schools’ Young People’s Concert Orchestra and the CMC Preparatory Program. Additionally, he has had the privilege of serving as principal violist in both the middle school and high school All-Suburban Honor Orchestras.
Outside of playing the viola, Jenkins enjoys reading, playing golf, and spending time with his friends. Jenkins would like to thank his friends, family, and teachers for their continuing encouragement and support.
