Of the thousands who auditioned, only the top musicians from school music departments across New York are selected. They auditioned by participating in solo and ensemble festivals last spring.
“This is a result of not only the students’ hard work and dedication, but a direct reflection of our music teachers’ commitment and perseverance towards excellence,” Director of Music, Anthony Pollera said.

The All-State Conference will take place in Rochester from Dec. 1-4.
