FCDS Orchestra Students Earn Chairs at N.C. American Strings Teachers Association All-State Orchestra


FCDS fifth grader Abigail Tan and junior Isaac Merkel earned chairs at the North Carolina American Strings Teachers Association (ASTA) All-State Orchestra Festival!
 
The NC ASTA All-State Orchestra Festival was held on April 22, 2023. Students had the privilege of working with nationally renowned orchestra conductor Dr. Annalisa Chang, who served as the clinician for the event. 
 
Isaac placed third chair in the orchestra and Abigail placed third chair in the second violin section. “Both students submitted fantastic recordings that won them the honor of being in the orchestra,” said FCDS Orchestra Director Barbara Bell.

Congratulations to Abigail and Isaac on this wonderful accomplishment!
