A Night of 1,000 Strings Dazzles Port Washington Community

Student-musicians in the Port Washington School District dazzled family, faculty and administrators with a variety of tunes during the district’s annual Night of 1,000 Strings concert at the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts on March 12.

The program was made possible in part by the Arts Education Program at LIU Tilles Center for the Performing Arts, and was sponsored by the district’s Creative Arts Department. The performance was co-sponsored with a generous grant from Helping Enrich the Arts in Port Washington (HEARTS), a non-profit organization that supports, promotes and enriches the arts in Port Washington and its public schools.

More than 300 orchestra students from grades 4-12 filled the wonderful performance hall with music. The event culminated in a combined performance of the classic “Irish Tune from County Derry,” also known as “Danny Boy.” The event made for a memorable evening of music that will be remembered for years to come.
