time. I played the clarinet solo in Verdi&#8217;s Overture to &#8220;La Forza del Destino.&#8221; I&#8217;ll never forget the exhilarating, nervous feeling I got when the harp hummed its accompaniment and I fell into focus mode to play my part with as much technical mastery and expression as I could muster. Once the last notes of the piece had resonated in Gottlieb Hall, then-conductor Robert Hasty smiled and gestured toward me to acknowledge my solo. I stood to thunderous applause and couldn&#8217;t stop smiling. For the rest of my musical career, I chased that exhilarating feeling, which was replicated several times in my experiences playing on the radio or in Gottlieb Hall or with my colleagues in rehearsals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-49f3d114\" data-id=\"49f3d114\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2daa1d8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2daa1d8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/meritmusic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/John-Kalil-Amazon-200x200-1.png?fit=200%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-40709\" alt=\"john kalil\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/meritmusic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/John-Kalil-Amazon-200x200-1.png?w=200&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/meritmusic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/John-Kalil-Amazon-200x200-1.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/meritmusic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/John-Kalil-Amazon-200x200-1.png?resize=12%2C12&amp;ssl=1 12w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5952d4b8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"5952d4b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">John Kalil<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\"><b>Vice chair<\/b><br>amazon<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-626c2565 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"626c2565\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>What I love about Merit:<\/strong>\u00a0<br \/>The incredible talent that exists in each student and the happiness music education brings to them.
