SCS Singers Attend HS Choral Festival

SCHOHARIE - Eleven SCS students were accepted and participated in this year’s Albany Pro Musica High School Choral Festival on Saturday, Feb. 17, at the University at Albany.

Students from all over the Capital Region applied for the chance to participate. The festival included workshops and rehearsals and culminated in an evening concert at the University at Albany.

This year’s guest conductor was Resident Conductor of the Radcliffe Choral Society and Director of the Holden Voice Program at Harvard University, Elizabeth (Liz) Eschen Cacciola. Dr. Eschen’s programming highlighted female living composers from historically marginalized populations.

In addition to their participation in the festival choir, six SCS students were also chosen to participate in the 24-person Festival Honor Choir. These students were able to work on a separate piece with Albany Pro Musica’s director, Dr. José Daniel Flores-Caraballo.

Congratulations to the following students for their participation and performance: Braeden Beck*, Caroline Borst, Sean Harrington*, Lindsay Haverly, Teyah Mason*, Sophia Rehberg, Stella Rockwell, Ryan Snyder*, Sophia Styles*, Sophia Watson, and Ivy Wray*.  *Honor Choir Member
