This year was the first time ever that Cresskill HS offered an Orchestra class during the school day. HS students
are able to register for Orchestra as a class and Middle School students are invited to audition for the group.
Our inaugural group included 4 High School students and 16 Middle School students.
This group is co-directed by Mr. Verderese & Mrs. Ofshinsky.
Also featured are two student run string quartets - one of 8th graders and the other of high school students.
The soloists on this concert included 5 students who made the All-State Orchestra for the 2022-2023 school year.
This event marked the first concert in our brand new auditorium following the damage from Tropical Storm Ida.
