Meet The Soloists
Helen Ye started learning the piano at the age of 4 with Yvonne Lau, but she currently studies with Bryan Ojeda at Third Street.
She has played in venues such as Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall and taken masterclasses with pianists like Jeffery Biegel and Jared Dunn.
Helen is a sophomore at Brooklyn Technical High School in New York City and has played violin, viola, and piano for five orchestras in said school.
In her spare time, she likes to learn about mechanical physics, spend her free periods in Tech’s orchestra room, speedcube, and drink coffee.
Helen is currently working on a variety of composers such as Chopin, Bach, and wants to play Rachmaninoff.
Opal Garg began learning piano at age 4 with Joan Forsyth at Third Street Music School.
An EDA McFarlane Clark Piano Honors student, she also studies theory, composition and chamber music, and performs regularly in concerts, masterclasses, festivals, and charitable events. Opal has appeared as a soloist at Weill Recital Hall, Steinway Hall, Merkin Hall, Leonard Nimoy Thalia theater and Ventfort Hall, and performed with her chamber music ensembles at Weill Recital Hall and Merkin Hall. For four consecutive years through 2025 she was a featured soloist at Stowe C. Phelps Annual Concert, which is Third Street’s traditional performance highlight of the year.
She won State Award for each of the three RCM Piano Certificate Exams she took during an 18-month period in 2023 and 2024. In 2025 she won top prizes at the Honors Program competition of Piano Teachers Congress of New York and made her orchestral debut under the baton of Victoria Bond at Classical Cool! The Village Trip family concert hosted by Nina Bernstein Simmons.
An avid reader, writer and S.T.E.M. enthusiast, Opal attends The Spence School and enjoys a range of academic, creative and athletic interests besides music.
Ravi Hasegawa was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, and has been playing the oboe since the age of eleven.
She is currently principal oboist of the ISO at the Third Street Symphony Orchestra and studies with Dr. Lillian Copeland at the Manhattan School of Music Pre-College.
Ravi is a senior at Stuyvesant High School and looks forward to pursuing music in the future.
Outside of oboe, she enjoys writing, thrifting, and playing the piano.
Born in Chicago, Emma Walker started cello lessons at 4 years old with her mom, Dr. Lisa Walker, and has had masterclasses with Laurien Laufman.
She won the 2023 Concerto Competition at Luzerne Music Center in New York and placed second at the 2024 Forte International Music Competition in Brussels, Belgium. She was also a finalist in the 2025 Interlochen Concerto Competition and is now a 2026 Third Street Concerto Competition winner.
An international student and a Grade 8 ballerina, Emma has lived in Paris, Belgium, and Jamaica. She currently attends Special Music School in New York and studies cello with Jennifer Park.
