Noah Lipe
Noah Lipe is 15 years old and is a sophomore at John Burroughs School. Noah has played the cello for seven years. This is Noah’s second year in the SLSYO. Noah was a member of the Missouri All-State Orchestra in 2024. He has also played in Webster University’s Young People’s Symphonic Orchestra for three years and the Young People’s Concert Orchestra for three years. He is also in his piano trio with Brandon Hu and Jerry Chang. Aside from playing the cello, Noah enjoys gardening, running, and volunteering at the Missouri Botanical Gardens and Magic House.
Noah would like to thank many people for supporting his musical journey over the past seven years, including Mrs. Fariga Drayton-Conway for teaching him to love cello; Ms. Sarah Klevorn for making orchestra so much fun; Dr. Anita Hagerman for always bringing smiles to the orchestra room; Mr. Patrick Jackson for believing in him; his parents for leading the way; and mostly, Mr. Ken Kulosa for his outstanding instruction.
