Madeline Christner, a Garden City High School senior, directed her original composition Dreams at a Thursday Garden City Community College string concert after months of frustration and practice with the GCHS symphonic orchestra. She began the Buff Project in December, seeking community or career related skills. Christner, a violinist and pianist who also plays viola, practiced with the orchestra for three weeks and hopes to pursue more composing. The program featured the world premiere of Dreaming, while Christner performed When Dark Clouds Arise with the GCCC string ensemble, composed by Daniel Baldwin.
