School: New England Conservatory

Max Haft has much to be proud of. When he was 12 years old, he was accepted into the Sacramento Youth Symphony’s Junior Orchestra. Six years later, he was accepted into the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, where he now works to perfect his skills on the violin. Not only has Max scored dozens of scholarships to programs including the Henri Mancini Institute Summer Education Program at UCLA, but he was also heard on the National Public Radio program “From the Top,” which features the country’s most talented young classical musicians.
