Sophia Pereyra-Johnston

Seattle Chapter

The Seattle Chapter has elected to celebrate two of our cherished members, Jessica Evotia Andrews-Hall and Sophia Pereyra-Johnston, for the amazing work they’ve put in as the twin pillars of our social committee.

Both excellent teachers and musicians in their own right, Jessica and Sophia have established and entrenched a vibrant, multifaceted event calendar that we’re extremely grateful to have. From attending shows around town with our students to happy hours and holiday parties with our fellow teachers, there’s delight to be had for all involved. Likewise their efforts to connect with and engage our new members ensures the health of our chapter for years to come. 

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!
