Rogers Chamber Ensemble Take Silver at Music Festival in N.Y.

Student musicians in the Rogers High School Chamber Ensemble won silver at the Heritage Music Festival at Riverside Church in Manhattan recently.

The students, under the direction of Alan Bernstein, went to New York to perform at the three-day festival that ran from May 1 to 3.

Along with the silver award won by the entire ensemble, clarinetist Lilly Zammer won a Maestro Award for her outstanding solo work during the performance.

While in New York, the students got a chance to see Aladdin at the New Amsterdam Theatre, had dinner and danced on a Hudson River cruise and had a Jazz brunch at the Blue Note Jazz Club. Those were just some of the highlights during two days of sightseeing in the Big Apple.

Congrats to all!
