FCAHS Students Selected for PMEA District 1 Orchestra
Eleven Fox Chapel Area High School students were selected by application to perform with the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association (PMEA) District 1 Senior High Orchestra. The orchestra was composed of a select group of student-musicians from Allegheny, Fayette, Greene, Washington, and Westmoreland counties. The students chosen were seniors Amelia Costello (violin), Elijah Herzer (clarinet), Chloe Kim (clarinet), Jacob Milgrub (cello), and Bridget Yun (cello); juniors Marina Dunham (bassoon) and Patton Johnson (percussion); and sophomores Elliott Broyles (trombone), Xing Carlough (viola), John Murray-Krezan (percussion), and Joshua Shah (flute).
A total of 150 students were selected for the District 1 Orchestra Festival, which was held at North Hills Middle School in February. The conductor was Jeffrey Turner, professor at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music and distinguished artist at the MacDuffie Center for Strings at Mercer University, where he is the conductor of the Macon-Mercer Symphony Orchestra.
