Rivers Musicians Head Off to Festival
Six Rivers students will participate in the Senior District Music Festival this Friday and Saturday, January 8 and 9, at Boston Latin School. The students were selected for the festival, sponsored by the Massachusetts Music Educators Association, during the Eastern District auditions that took place in mid-November, and involved musicians from 30 surrounding towns.
The students accepted into the festival were: Alex Clay ’18, clarinet, band; Silvia Curry ’16, clarinet, orchestra; Michaela Francesconi ’18, soprano, chorus; Nazeli Hagen ’17, alto, chorus; Joseph Nedder ’18, trombone, jazz band; and Victoria Nedder ’16, clarinet, band.
Of those students, three also received All-State recommendations: Silvia Curry, Nazeli Hagen, and Joe Nedder. They have been invited to audition in late January for the MMEA’s All-State concert to be held in March.
“I am so proud of these students and the hard work they put into preparing for their auditions,” said Choral Director Susan Emmanouilidis. “They are looking forward to this weekend’s concert, and performing with other talented student-musicians from the district.”
