Annabelle Rosette, a junior in high school, performed on cello for an admiring audience at the Rotary Club meeting on August 22 at Cottonwood on the Greens. The selections she chose were La Cinquantaine, written in 1887 by Jean-Gabriel Prosper Marie, a French romantic composer and conductor, and The Sounds of Silence, written by American folk singer and songwriter Paul Simon in 1964.In September, Rosette will travel to Huesca, Spain to begin her year of studies abroad in the Rotary Youth Exchange program sponsored by the Rotary Club of Los Alamos, District 5520, and Rotary International. Rosette, who first began playing violin, now plays cello primarily. She has already arranged to rent a cello in Spain so she can continue her musical interests.Rosette is the daughter of Eddie and Michelle Rosette of Los Alamos.Community members who are interested in Rotary Youth Exchange are encouraged to contact Laura Gonzales at 505-699-5880 or [email protected].
