He continued his studies with Mimi Zweig, winning the Conservatory’s Merit Scholarship Competition 8 consecutive years from 1982 to 1989. In 1983, he attended the Meadowmount Summer Institute of Music as a student of Linda Cerone. He was selected by nationwide audition and represented the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music in the National Guild of Community Schools of Art celebration orchestra performing in Carnegie Hall in November of 1987. While in High School, Mr. Ketchum was invited to perform as a featured soloist with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra.
