Meet a Credo Alum:
 |
Rebecca Swan, Viola
| In 1999, a group of 45 intrepid students became the first ever ‘Credites’. Rebecca Swan was among those 45 at the first Credo festival which took place in Woodstock, Illinois. Rebecca attended Credo for the following two summers and later went on to study viola at the Juilliard School. She says that “Credo has helped give me a complete picture of how to use music to glorify God in everyday life.” Today, Rebecca is an active musician, teaching privately and playing in the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra. |
