Schreiber Students Recognized as Top Musicians in the State

Four student-musicians from Paul D. Schreiber High School have been selected out of thousands of students to represent the district at the 2015 New York State School Music Association Winter Conference this December.

Two students were selected to perform while two will serve as alternates. One student was selected as an All-State musician for two instruments.

Students were chosen for this prestigious honor based on the proficiency they demonstrated at NYSSMA auditions last May.

Congratulations to the following students for being recognized as top musicians in the state:

• Jonathan Kobrinsky—double bass, alternate–string orchestra
• Jordan Lerner— baritone saxophone–jazz ensemble and alto saxophone, alternate–jazz ensemble
• Andrew Lu— violin–string orchestra
• Soobin Seo— violin, alternate–string orchestra

Students selected for NYSSMA All-State will perform in the Winter Conference in Rochester from Dec. 3-6.

NYSSMA is one of the largest and most successful musical organizations in the country. Nearly 5,000 members proudly belong to NYSSMA with approximately 100,000 students participating annually in spring adjudication festivals. The NYSSMA Winter Conference attracts almost 4,000 participants and offers about 190 workshops and showcases.
