📣 We are excited to announce that Harry Gonzalez has accepted the position of Associate Principal/2nd Trombone with The Phoenix Symphony! 🎉 🗣️ Harry reflects on his journey: “I am deeply thankful for being awarded a NAAS Coaching and Mentorship grant in preparation for my audition with the Phoenix Symphony. Audition success is not always linear, and I will forever be grateful to the Sphinx Organization for their continued support. Whether it be through audition grants, substitute musician grants, audition intensives or the SOPA competition, I have been fortunate enough to grow as a person and musician through my association with these NAAS programs.” 🎉 Congratulations to Harry on this remarkable achievement! #PhoenixSymphony #NAAS #SphinxOrganization #Trombone #MusicCareer #SuccessStory
