The Schoharie County Music Educators’ Association is sponsoring the annual All County Music Festival at Schoharie Central School. Exceptional student musicians have been chosen to participate based on recommendations by their music teachers. Selected students will rehearse with guest conductors on Friday, January 26th and Saturday, January 27th.. The festival will culminate in a series of concerts on Saturday, January 27th. The Junior High Band will perform at 2:00 PM, Elementary Chorus at 3:00 PM, and High School Band at 4:00 PM. All performances are held in the auditorium at Schoharie Jr/Sr High School. Participating school districts are Berne-Knox-Westerlo, Cobleskill-Richmondville, Duanesburg, Middleburgh, Schoharie, and Sharon Springs. 

The members of SCMEA meet on a regular basis to plan two festivals which offer expanded music opportunities for music students. The group also sponsors scholarships for graduating seniors who will be studying music in college next year. The concert is open to the public with a suggested donation of $5 per person.
