The following is from South Orange Maplewood School District:
On Sunday October 2, students from the SOMSD participated in a series of masterclasses, lectures, and performances at New York University’s Steinhardt. Students from both MMS, SOMS, and CHS attended NYU woodwind department’s “A Day in the Life” an event which gives aspiring musicians the opportunity to be an NYU instrumental performance student for the day.
The daily schedule included participating in mock classes around campus, performing for the applied instrumental faculty, and eating lunch in a dinning hall! Throughout the day students and parents interacted with members of the NY Philharmonic, the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, and a variety of freelancers who perform on Broadway and in prestigious chamber ensembles throughout the New York City area. The day concluded with a faculty concert which highlighted all of the woodwind performance faculty of NYU Steinhardt! Special
Special thanks to SOMSD Instrumental Music teacher Kaitlyn Walker (Program Assistant for Woodwind Studies at Steinhart) for coordinating the event!
