    • Arts

A profile of 13-year-old violinist Eunice Park and the all-volunteer Tampa Bay Symphony, which includes 70 musicians ages 18 to 80 and serves as a platform for people who want to play part-time, but still tackle challenging works. "The beauty of our group lies in the members," says double bass player Paul Kurtz. “It’s a beautiful blend of young, old, Black, white, brown, yellow, straight, gay – basically, come as you are. And to me that is a true reflection of community."
