Bob Murphy's Violin Shop Gives Musical Gift to Two Usdan Students

On Thursday, August 9th, Melville-based Bob Murphy's Violin Shop awarded two outstanding Usdan Summer Camp for the Arts students new instruments.

Violinist Allison Arias, a student at Celia Cruz High School of Music in the Bronx and violist Eliel De Los Santos, Brentwood High School in Brentwood, were nominated by their instructors and Usdan executive director Lauren Brandt Schloss for their hard work and dedication to their instruments. Bob Murphy's Music presented each with new German instruments and a pledge for lifetime repair.
