Madison Student Honored For Outstanding Violin Talent

MADISON, NJ - A student from Madison was one of several honored by the Mayo Performing Arts Center as a May Music Student Of The Month for being an outstanding violinist.

Zoe Bohensky, an eighth grader from Madison Junior School, was honored on stage before the May 16 concert at Mayo PAC. All the students were nominated by their teachers and chosen by Mayo PAC's education department. At the end of the year, all honored students will be invited to perform in a recital.

Here is what Kathleen McCormick had to say about Bohensky:

"I would like to nominate my 8th grade orchestra student, Zoe Bohensky. She has been a violinist in my orchestra since 6th grade where she has consistently performed, is respectful of her teacher and peers and is someone who always gives her best effort. Last year she began rising to the top of the curve in her performance evaluations, the result of her independent practice at home as she does not receive private lessons. She earned principal positions within her sections and was recommended to take summer instruction to continue her rapid progress. This year, she has earned membership into my 8th grade honors octet which is a featured performing group for our concerts, graduation and community events. I am very proud of Zoe's progress as a musician at the Madison Junior School and happy to give her the opportunity to be Music Student of the Month."

The 2018-2019 Music Student of the Month program is supported by The Walter F. and Alice Gorham Foundation, Inc.
