Redmond Students to Perform at Carnegie Hall May 24, 2009
Redmond, Wash. – Students from the Redmond High School orchestras have learned the way to Carnegie Hall: it takes practice, practice, practice… and a great conductor!
A group of 40 students from the Redmond High School String and Chamber Orchestras and the Redmond Junior High School Advanced Orchestra and their conductor, Lake Washington School District teacher Paula C. Ferguson, will be traveling to New York City over Memorial Day weekend to perform at Carnegie Hall. The students won a coveted performance spot at the famous concert hall by submitting a recording of their best work from the last several years.
Redmond High School principal Jane Todd, who will be accompanying the group to their Carnegie Hall debut, is enthusiastic in her praise of the students and their conductor. “Thanks to Mrs. Ferguson’s work, we’ve built an orchestra that’s second to none,” Todd said. “We’ll be taking our Mustang pride all the way to New York City.”
