A Standing Ovation at LINCOLN CENTER!

The chorus of 2008 got together to give an encore performance and outdid themselves as they performed last week at the legendary Avery Fisher Hall in Lincoln Center. On August 25th, there was a New Teacher Ceremony welcoming the new incoming public school educators joining the system for the upcoming school year. In attendance was NYC Public Schools Chancellor Joel Klein, who e-mailed Mrs. Donath, our principal, writing, "I was very impressed. Your students were terrific and your music teacher is a force of nature. Very exciting." It's very exciting to receive such high praise from Chancellor Klein and we thank him, especially Hurricane B. :)

Watch the 2 videos below to see why the chorus earned its standing ovation they received at the conclusion of the performance.
