Congratulations to AMIS Honor Orchestra and Honor Choir Delegates & Alternates 2013
Please join us in congratulating the following students for accomplishing the amazing task of qualifying for the 2013 AMIS Middle School Honor Orchestra and Honor Choir. This year, a joint Orchestra and Choir festival will be held in Beijing, China from on January 23-27, 2013.
After a very rigorous and competitive blind audition process for Orchestra, Brady Jalili was chosen from hundreds of auditions tapes representing schools from all around Asia. The audition consisted of 2 scales, 4 exercises and a difficult etude, which were judged by a panel in London, England.
Schools from around Asia, who will attend the festival, may audition and select 6 outstanding students (and several alternates) to represent their school in the Honor Choir each year. After auditions at ISB in October, the following students were selected from 30+ auditioning choir students as delegates for this year’s festival: Caroline Garnett, Frances Garnett, Margaret Gray, Katarina Izdepski, Pawan (Sine) Palcharoen, and Chan Tae Park. Alternates selected are Maho Ishikawa, Ariana Harr and Spencer Wile. String’s Delegate, Brady Jalili (who is a member of the Middle Men Choir at ISB), also auditioned and was selected to be a part of the Honor Choir. However, he was also selected as a string’s delegate and has elected to be a part of the Honor Orchestra at this year’s festival.
Please congratulate these fantastic young musicians!
Musically,
John Secomb (Strings)
Coleen Peterson (Choir)
