Concertmaster
This is Kyara’s 10th year as Concertmaster. Based in Missoula, Kyara is also the director of both the Great Falls Youth Orchestra and the orchestra program at Flathead Valley Community College in Kalispell, where she also teaches violin, viola and music theory.
Kyara holds a Master of Music in Orchestral Conducting from Florida State University (2021), a Master of Music in Viola Performance from the University of Montana (2019), and a Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance from UM (2017).
When not driving between music sites, she enjoys playing Fortnite with her brothers, has started learning the bass guitar and loves to travel. She became serious about the violin after hearing Bach’s Chaconne, which inspired her to take private lessons. She said from that point on, it became obvious she would pursue a career in music.
