Congratulations to Hoyt and Grigson
Each year, the Honors Performance Series, a program through Carnegie Hall and Sydney Opera House, allows high school students from around the world to be a part of their prestigious Carnegie Hall and Sydney Opera House performance series. This year, two Cascia Hall seniors, Celyn Grigson (left) and Wilson Hoyt, auditioned and were selected as members of the Carnegie Hall Honors Choir. Wilson Hoyt was also accepted for the Sydney Opera House Honors Choir.
Their taped auditions were chosen among hundreds, including students from the US, Canada, Australia, China, Hong Kong, Mexico, New Zealand, Qatar, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. As finalists, they now have the opportunity to meet with other finalists in New York City to participate in four days of intensive rehearsal with world-renowned conductors, culminating in a performance on the famous Carnegie Hall stage. To prepare for their performances, both students will learn several difficult choral works for each performance. In addition, Wilson will have the opportunity to rehearse and perform with other finalists at the Sydney Opera House this summer.
