They're no strangers to the stage, but 10 New Rochelle High School orchestra students have been stepping up their rehearsals for a moment in the brighter footlights tonight, when they will join other area students at Purchase College performing with the genre-busting duo Black Violin . The act has gained a following for its sound meshing classical, hip-hop, rock, R&B and bluegrass.
Nine student musicians from New Rochelle High School were among the best high school musicians in the county performing in the Westchester County Area All-State Music Festival Concert on Nov. 16. The New Rochelle musicians and musical groups they played with were: Annael Alvarez, soprano I, treble chorus; Isabella Gonzalez, soprano I, mixed chorus; Alissa Johnson, clarinet, symphony orchestra; Taz Kim, cello, symphony orchestra; Jada Miller, violin I, string orchestra; Elijah Pomerantz, alto saxophone, band; Julianne Paccione, violin I, string orchestra; David Rubertone, tenor II, mixed chorus; and Gabriella Sgobbo, soprano II, mixed chorus.
