WRR 101 Focus on the Arts: Meet one of the DFW teens on tour with the National Youth Orchestra
"I feel like it (National Youth Orchestra) brings a new energy with the youth, and so I think that’s why the reason it’s so important, and with youth orchestras across America," says clarinetist Christopher Dechant, a native of Lucas Texas. Dechant is one of five DFW teens in the coast-to-coast tour with the NYO, which includes a stop at the Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas. He chatted with WRR's Amy Bishop about his musical path, which is leading him to Juilliard this August.
