CSWT member Ellen Appleton has been accepted by the New England Conservatory of Music at Walnut Hill in Boston MA. She had planned to attend her senior year in high school in preparation for entering a top music conservatory for college - but after her live audition, interview, and application was recieved, the school recommended that she enter now. They were in awe of her talent and say they are very excited to have someone with such talents come to their school. Ellen has made the decision to transfer in January 2009. She will be looking into the Celtic opportunities in Boston as it has a large Celtic culture. Ellen will miss everyone here in the CSWT, but feels strongly that this is the path God has chosen for her.
