SBHS CHAMBER ORCHESTRA GIVES OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE
SBHS’s Chamber Orchestra members recently performed at Bridgewater Raritan High School for the CJMEA Music Festival. After warming up with Perseus by Soon Hee Newbold, they went on to perform Movements I, II, and IV of Dag Wiren’s Serenade for Strings. Their energetic playing, showcasing variation in tempo, melodic material, and stylistic choices, earned them a gold rating at the festival. The Chamber Orchestra is proud to have represented their school’s orchestra program and grateful for the opportunity to enrich their musical journey by listening to other orchestras perform. They hope to channel this momentum into their upcoming performances at Roxbury High School’s Music for All festival as well as South Brunswick High School’s spring concert.
