On March 14, student musicians in elementary through high school came together for the annual District Music Festival at the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts at C.W. Post/Long Island University.
The evening began with a welcome and introduction by the district’s director of music and art, Abby Behr, who introduced Dr. James Allen Anderson, Director of Orchestral Activities and music director of the University of Delaware’s symphony and chamber orchestras.
The festival began with a performance by the High School District Chamber Orchestra. The Middle School District String Orchestra then entertained the crowd, followed by the Emerald String Quartet and the Elementary School District String Orchestra. The evening’s finale included students and staff performing “Twinkle Variations & Theme (Folk).”
Special thanks to artists-in-residence Eileen Murphy and Trevor New, who assisted the students in their performances, and to the Arts-in-Education Program at Long Island University Tilles Center for the Performing Arts.
