An Outstanding Orchestral Masterclass At East Islip

SMTIHTOWN, NY - Three SUNY Fredonia professors – cellist Natasha Farny, viola player David Rose and violinist Maureen Yuen – visited East Islip High School on Oct. 24 to teach orchestra students in a masterclass.

Senior musicians Trevor Garnett, Victoria Keenan, Joshua Koretz and Kathryn O’Neill performed solos and were given feedback by the Fredonia faculty.

“Everyone in attendance remarked on how great it was to hear the students perform individually and learn from the feedback they were given,” Giovanna Ruggiero, East Islip’s orchestra director, said. “I am so glad my students had this wonderful opportunity and I hope to provide more experiences like this in the future.”
