The All-County Music Festival will be held at the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts in January 2015, and the LISFA secondary festival will take place at Plainview-Old Bethpage Middle School on Nov. 16, 2014. Each year, the most talented student musicians are chosen for these elite ensembles based primarily on their scores obtained at the New York State School Music Association Solo Evaluation Festival.

“Congratulations to all of our selected performers and to our district’s exceptional music staff,” stated Director of Fine and Performing Arts Joseph Pallotta.

“Additionally, I would like to thank the Board of Education, Central and Building Administrators for their ongoing support of our music program.” The complete list of students, categorized by ensemble and school, is below.
