Irvington Music Students Selected for All County Ensembles

Now you can add “All County Orchestra and Chorus” to the resumes of 20 Irvington music students.

The students were selected for the ensembles by the Westchester County School Music Association for its 2016 festival concerts, according to information received from the Irvington Union Free School District.

Music teacher Alan Goldberg, who was chosen to conduct the Westchetser Elementary All County Orchestra, said the students love doing what they are doing.

“They have taken their intelligence and talent, which are considerable, and pushed them to the max,” he said.

“They are so absorbed in their music that being accepted into the All County groups is a natural, logical outcome,” Goldberg said.

• Main Street School students selected for the All-County Elementary Orchestra include Julianne Korb (violin), Ryan Liu (bass) and Seungchan Yun (cello) while Victoria Assade, Tiernan Cain, Jaron Kim and Emily Kropp were selected for the All-County Chorus.
• Irvington Middle School students Richard Ackerman (viola), Mary Cuff (cello), Taylor Lee (cello), Anika Manchanda (violin), Eesha Thaker (violin), Reinesse Wong (violin) and Robert Yun (viola) were selected for the All-County Junior Orchestra for grades six and seven. The All-County Elementary Band will feature middle school student Marcel Ramos-Roux on flute. The All-County Intermediate Band will feature middle school students Arielle Ades (oboe), Ethan Chang (trumpet), Arusi Parekh (oboe) and Sebastian Ramos-Roux (French horn).
• Irvington High School violinist Sohum Gala was also selected for the Intermediate All-County Orchestra. In addition, former Irvington student Katie Accetta, a ninth-grader who now attends the Masters School, will be performing with the Intermediate Orchestra on violin.
