Mahopac Students Shine in NYSSMA Performance

It may have been winter in Rochester, but the music made it seem like spring at the New York State School Music Association’s All State conference held last month. Mahopac High School students Erica Quaedvlieg (Womens Chorus), Amanda Montera and Elizabeth Ojeda (Symphony Orchestra) were chosen to perform in the NYSSMA concert in Rochester. “Their performances were absolutely amazing,” said music teacher Stas Przymylski. “Our students performed for packed audiences of more than 2,500.  They rehearsed and collaborated with their peers from across the state and were led by guest conductors and educators from around the nation.  It was a fantastic experience for everyone involved, students and teachers alike.”
