WEST NEWBURY – Superintendent Justin Bartholomew, Principal Jonathan Seymour, and Director of Jazz and Bands David Schumacher announced that a Pentucket Regional High School junior will participate in Massachusetts Music Educators’ Association (MMEA) All-State Concert.
Chaney Goldstein of Bradford was one of just five saxophone players from the state chosen for the All-State Jazz Band from among 25 students who were selected to audition. Goldstein and the All-State Jazz Band will perform at Boston’s Symphony Hall on Saturday, March 4. The concert also features performances by the All-State Choir, Orchestra, and Concert Band.
“It has been a pleasure to see Chaney develop his musical talents,” said Director Schumacher. “We are very proud of all he has accomplished and cannot wait to see him perform with the All-State Jazz Band!”
The Massachusetts Music Educators’ Association is a member of the National Association for Music Education, among the world’s largest arts education organizations and the voice of music education in the United States.
“Chaney’s acceptance into the All-State Concert is extremely well-deserved. He is a passionate and dedicated young musician, and it is wonderful to see that all of his hard work is being recognized,” Superintendent Bartholomew said.
