One week after our annual Monster Concert, the glittering sounds that we heard in the PAC of Brookdale Community College still fill my ears and my memory with joy. What a special program and what an incredible success! With 26 teachers and more than 130 students - participants, this year's program went above and beyond all of our expectations! Bravo!
We are very proud of all of our students, they worked very hard preparing their programs, and it was truly rewarding to participate in such unique concert. I would like to extend my gratitude to our talented and dedicated teachers who put in so much work preparing their students for this big day! Bravo to our teachers!
A heartfelt thank you – full of admiration goes to Beth Chen, our fabulous conductor, who never fails to achieve the impossible and bring together an orchestra of pianos in a matter of hours, and as always, did it in only one rehearsal! Bravo! A very special thank you goes to our wonderful narrator, Lillian Livingston, who infused our program with insightful and enjoyable comments, making it not only fun but educational. Thank you, Lillian!
I would also like to thank Brookdale Community College for the chance to perform in their lovely concert hall, and the Freehold Music Center for providing us with their exquisite instruments. And once again, thanks to everyone: teachers, students, parents, and friends, for showing your support and dedicating your time to keeping this wonderful musical tradition alive! Bravo, and Encore!
