Really appreciate the post, Chris.
You and I have interacted for a few years now about the younger musicians. We must help our younger people grow, and they have potential to be outstanding.
My take is no, they're not as good as big names, but they work hard, often understand the music, and play with intensity and art. Kudos to their teachers and conductors, like you.
I am sure you've heard or read such stories before, but the weekend prior to their NY trip, my kid (co-president violinist) complained, "no one is disciplining them and they're not practicing (the younger players), the conductor won't say anything, and we're going to Tully Hall." She was pretty upset (rare). But God answered prayers, as we say and they won. Forgive me, yes, I posted this before, the YT copy (link) of my kid's public high school orchestra performance in NY from 2015.
As for younger soloists, when I am free, I listen to From The Top, which plays weekly at 6 pm on KUSC.org, don't know when in the Bay Area. Remarkable.
