Farmington High School Musicians Qualify in Music Competition

On Saturday evening, January 17 the best and brightest high school musicians from the Connecticut Northern Region gathered to perform at New Britain High School.

This music festival is sponsored by the Connecticut Music Educators Association (CMEA.) This is a highly competitive, audition-only music festival. To earn a spot in the festival, students must practice many hours independently after coaching with their music teachers to qualify for the All-Conference ensembles. The audition music is collegiate level solo literature.

Amongst this talented group of musicians were a large number of students from Farmington High School.
