Bronxville High School senior Patrick Bird, a talented string bassist, has been invited to perform with the 2021 New York State School Music Association’s Area All-State Orchestra, which will be held virtually on April 11.

“Patrick is one of the most versatile and expressive musicians I have taught,” orchestra director Denise Lutter said. “In addition to playing the classical repertoire, he is a jazz aficionado who is developing an impressive set of improvisational skills.”

Selected through a competitive audition for the orchestra, Bird is among 100 of New York’s finest high school orchestra musicians. The All-State virtual concert, featuring music by Tchaikovsky, will air on Sunday, April 11 at 4 p.m. on NYSSMA’s website at www.nyssma.org.
