Elise Zhao additionally has been selected to perform in the Tenth Annual NYSSMA Piano Showcase in Rochester during the 2015 NYSSMA All-State Conference.

Each year, All-State musicians are selected from among thousands of students who auditioned for this honor at solo and ensemble festivals held throughout New York State last spring. The selection process is extremely competitive and based upon a student’s superior score for NYSSMA solo auditions. “Congratulations to all of our student musicians for achieving this prestigious honor,” said Hauppauge’s Director of Fine and Performing Arts Laura Stiegelmaier.
