Nine Jericho high schoolers have been selected to participate in New York State School Music Association All-State Ensembles, one of the highest honors a student musician can achieve in New York State. The association recognizes the top students from school music departments across the state.
Four Jericho students were selected to perform at the state concert in December:
· Ara Woo, for Symphonic Band
· Easton Chen, for String Orchestra
· Margina Chen, for Symphonic Band
· Jia Choi, for Symphony Orchestra
Five Jericho students were named as All-State Alternates, including:
· Grace Li, for Violin
· Kevin Liu, for Violin
· Richard Chen, for Bass Clarinet
· Richard Xu, for Violin
· Stephen Lyu, for Violin
“On behalf of the entire music department and our supporters, we want to thank all those that have helped our students. These students are nurtured to grow in their journey by our amazing educators. Our students have worked hard and we are immensely proud of their dedication to advancing their skills and representing our district in this impressive group of selected musicians,” said Ruth Breidenbach, fine and performing arts curriculum associate.
