                     CONGRATULATIONS TO SAMUEL WANG

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. THOMAS MacARTHUR

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 16, 2015

  Mr. MacARTHUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor an outstanding 
young man from my district, Samuel Wang. Samuel was selected as a 
member of the 2015 National Youth Orchestra of the United States of 
America, which is a great accomplishment.
   The National Youth Orchestra, hosted by Carnegie Hall, is a 
competitive opportunity for 16 through 19 year old musicians from 
across the country. Samuel is a young violinist from Medford, New 
Jersey, who stood out among his peers and earned the high honor of 
being chosen to participate in this year's orchestra. The young men and 
women selected will perform at Carnegie Hall this summer, then tour 
seven cities in China. On their trip, they will have the opportunity to 
serve as cultural representatives of our country, share in the exchange 
of art and music, and collaborate and gather with young Chinese 
musicians.
   I am honored to represent bright young people in South Jersey like 
Samuel, and I am excited to hear from him when he returns from his trip 
this summer. Best of luck, Samuel, and congratulations.

                          ____________________
