featuring the East Symphonic Band, Jazz Ensemble, West Orchestra, Choirs and Concert Jazz Band
The High School East Symphonic Band recently brought both cohorts of students together for a socially-distanced rehearsal and recording session. The following performances of Karl King's Our Heritage march and Larry Clark's Allegiance are a result of their effort.
Shen Jazz Ensemble performs Alianza featuring Will Stewart (trumpet), Tim Czirr (drums), Alex Marinelli (Bass), and Grant Harding (piano).
The West Orchestra recently performed “Bourree” by Georg Muffat. Each cohort was recorded as individual ensembles, and CVL students recorded themselves at home. All of the audio and video recordings were stitched together to create this virtual performance.
Students in Mostly A Cappella and both High School East and West Choraliers are working on repertoire for this year's NYSSMA Solo festival. The festival will be held in a virtual setting in the late spring. Students will have the opportunity to receive feedback and a score from their adjudication, in a similar way to a typical school year.
The High School East Concert Jazz Band performs All of Me, featuring Michael Lehmann (trumpet), Matt Campana (Tenor Sax), and Samvid Reddy (Drums).
The High School East Concert Jazz Band performs Otra Vez, featuring Matt Campana (Tenor Sax), Michael Lipschultz (Guitar), Ryan McGoldrick (Trumpet), and Casey Asaro (Alto Sax), Jason Colindres (Drums), and Peter Torres (Bass).
