Cellist Nomin Zolzaya has been studying music in St. Louis since she arrived from Mongolia in March 2010. Peter Myers, son of St. Louis Symphony Orchestra musicians Tim and Dana Myers, was in Mongolia when he heard Zolzaya play. Finding her playing amazing, he just knew he had to get her to the US to study with his former teacher Kulosa. The Myers family brought Nomin Zolzaya to live with them. Zolzaya is hoping to stay in the US and study music at a conservatory or university.

The Myers family paid for her airfare on his say-so, and brought Nomin Zolzaya to live with them. Photo by Laurie Skrivan, lskrivan@post-dispatch.com
