Colburn Conservatory of Music prepares the orchestras of tomorrow

Colburn Conservatory of Music prepares the orchestras of tomorrow
It's musical learning at the highest level at the downtown Los Angeles school.

"All children, except one, grow up," Linda Brest announces. An oboe student with a streak of pink in her blond hair, she might be verbalizing the innermost thoughts of the peers who sit before her -- some of the nation's finest young musicians on the cusp of their adult careers. Brest is narrating a rehearsal of "Peter Pan," a piece arranged by James Newton Howard. The next day, the Colburn Outreach Orchestra will perform it at Belvedere Elementary School in East L.A.
