“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor the young talent of Elaine Kang, a 16-year-old violinist from Port Matilda, PA. This coming September, she will make her radio debut on NPR's ``From the Top,'' a critically acclaimed radio show that reaches 700,000 listeners each week. ``From the Top'' serves to honor the passion and tenacity of classical musicians under the mission of allowing young people to make a difference by showing who they are and what they can accomplish. Elaine should be highly commended for developing this wonderful talent. With only 16 years behind her and many more ahead, she is well on her way to a fruitful career. She is a role model for many other young musicians, as well as her peers. The lessons of hard work and discipline are universal, and Elaine certainly promotes them. She has exhibited wonderful skill and her example shows the benefit of pursuing one's passions. I wish Elaine the best of luck on her upcoming taping at the Majestic Theatre in Gettysburg, and I look forward to hearing her play. ____________________”
