Jessica Cretors, Isabella Paglicci, Britanie Vukobratovich, and Peyton Watts, students at Willowcreek Middle School, have been selected for the 2014 Middle School Honors Performance Series at Carnegie Hall. They will perform at Carnegie Hall in June 2014 with the Honors Junior Choir. Participation in one of the three Honors Ensembles is limited to the talented middle school performers from across North America.
Jessica, Isabella, Britanie, and Peyton auditioned this fall for the Honors Performance Series and were accepted after a review by the Honors Selection Board. Acceptance to the talented group is a direct result of the talent, dedication, and achievements demonstrated in the young ladies’ applications and audition recordings. Jessica, Isabella, Britanie, and Peyton will join other performers from the United States and Canada for a special performance at world-famous Carnegie Hall, a venue that marks the pinnacle of musical achievement.
According to Lisel Bruscia, Program Director, “Being selected to the Honors Performance Series is something each Junior Finalist should be extremely proud of accomplishing. We process thousands of nominations annually, selecting only the most talented performers. Working with these conductors and performing at Carnegie Hall is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that these student musicians never forget”.
Jessica, Isabella, Britanie, and Peyton study music with Mrs. Natalie R. Franks and are members of Willowcreek Middle School’s choir.
Junior Finalists will come together for five days at the end of June 2014 in New York City to have the opportunity to learn from Dr. Jeffery L. Ames, work with other Junior Finalists, and get a taste of New York City. The Saturday, June 28th, performance is open to the public and specially invited guests. Tickets can be purchased beginning 60 days prior to the performance through the Carnegie Hall box office at www.carnegiehall.org/boxoffice.
The Honors Performance Series was created to showcase accomplished individual high school and middle school performers on an international level by allowing them to study under master conductors and perform in the celebrated venue, Carnegie Hall. Learn more by visiting www.honorsperformance.org.
