Eastern Music Festival stands as a prestigious musical outlet for young, aspiring musicians seeking to refine their craft and immerse themselves in the world of harmonious melodies. However, some students embark on this transformative journey with a unique twist - they come as siblings, connected by shared musical passions and talents. 

Speaking of talent, we have a unique tale of two sisters here at EMF this season. The Rushall sisters, who hail from Flagstaff, Arizona, will be performing together TONIGHT at EMF’s Young Artists Orchestra performance at 8 PM in Dana Auditorium. 

One sister, 18 year-old concerto competition winner Isabel Rushall, will be performing an epic violin solo of Lalo’s Symphonie Espagnole, op. 21 (mvt. I). The other sister, 19 year-old Evelyn Rushall, will be acconpamying her and serving as the concertmaster for the evening. 

Along with concerto winner Isabel, concerto winner Gina Gravagne (viola) and concerto winner Gabrielle Gans (violin) also have sisters joining them on stage in the orchestra who are both on cello. Gina’s sister Lydia Gravagne and Gabrielle’s sister Naomi Gans. 

Through these shared experiences, mutual encouragement, and unforgettable performances, these siblings leave the festival with hearts full of music and memories that will resonate with them for a lifetime.

Pictured here, we have sisters Isabel and Evelyn Rushall, Gina and Lydia Gravagne, and Gabrielle and Naomi Gans who are all talented Young Artists here at EMF.
