They will perform at NYSSMA’s annual All-State Festival in Rochester, December 5–8. Ryan Dirgins and Owen Stone are All-State Chorus alternates.Īpproximately 900 All-State musicians were chosen from the over 6,500 high school sophomores and juniors who auditioned last spring at 43 solo festival sites throughout the state. Scott Castillo and Anahita Subramanya were selected to perform in the All-State Chorus and Ethan Lin is first trumpet in the All-State Symphony Orchestra. Donovan-Warren’s students to have been selected the others were Justin Maldonado (PHS Class of 2014) and James McCarthy (PHS Class of 2016).įive other PHS students have been recognized by the NYS School Music Association (NYSSMA). Students will have a one-week window (March 19 March 26, 2021) to record their performance and upload to the MusicFirst web-based program for music evaluations. There will be NO IN-PERSON festivals this year. Overall each participant is judged on seven categories, tone, intonation, technique, accuracy, interpretation, scales, and sight reading. This festival, as with all 2021 NYSSMA solo festivals will be held virtually. Instrumental soloists also must play scales, the number of which are determined by difficulty level of the solo. Kyle is one of 240 seniors nationally, one of 18 from New York State, and one of three from Westchester County in the Mixed Choir. Each NYSSMA solo is preassigned a difficulty level from I (easiest) to VI (most difficult). Kyle’s selection to All-State last year, as a junior, qualified him to audition. PHS senior Kyle Largey has been accepted into the All-National Honors Ensembles (ANHE) Mixed Choir and will perform with the “best of the best” at the National Association for Music Educators (NAfME) gala in Orlando, Florida, November 7–10.
