Violin Solo by Rebecca Slater

Violinist Rebecca Slater ’18 won an audition to concertmaster in the All Eastern Orchestra. With the highest score among musicians from 11 states, she was First Chair when performing with this elite Orchestra in April in Atlantic City. Previously she was accepted into the 2017 New Jersey All State High School Orchestra and served as assistant concertmaster. Rebecca was also one of three Upper School violinists accepted into the New Jersey Music Educators Association All-State Orchestra. To qualify for the All-State audition, she had to audition for, be accepted into, and perform with the North Jersey Regional Orchestra. Here Rebecca performs the violin solo “La Gitana” (an Arabo-Spanish gypsy song of the 18th century) by Fritz Kreisler at an all-school Morning Meeting in April 2014. Accompanying her on piano is Sandi Zimmermann.
