The Fortissima program at Colburn School in Los Angeles is aiming for something completely different. Artistic Director and Violinist Jannina Norpoth says they aim to teach their charges how to make it in the world they want to pursue. One student, Tess Reed of Houston, says it was the best experience ever.
