Cranberry students selected for Middle School Honors Performance Series at Carnegie Hall

 Haley Brand and Jenna Seigworth, students at Cranberry High School, have been selected for the 2016 Middle School Honors Performance Series at Carnegie Hall.

They will perform Saturday, June 25, at Carnegie Hall with the Honors Junior Choir.

Participation in one of the three Honors Ensembles is limited to the highest rated middle school performers from across North America and select schools internationally.

Brand and Seigworth auditioned last fall for the Honors Performance Series and were accepted after a review by the Honors selection board.

“Being selected to the Honors Performance Series is something each Junior Finalist should be extremely proud of accomplishing. We process thousands of nominations annually, selecting only the most talented performers,” said Nancy Richardson, program director. “Working with these conductors and performing at Carnegie Hall is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that these student musicians never forget,” she said.

Junior Finalists will come together for five days in New York City to have the opportunity to learn from composer/conductor Sally Albrecht, work with other Junior Finalists, and get a taste of New York City.

The Saturday, June 25 performance is open to the public. Tickets can be purchased through the Carnegie Hall box office.
