Junior Zoe Prats, Cellist, Makes PMEA Central Region Orchestra
York Suburban junior cello player, Zoe Prats, advanced to perform with the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association (PMEA) Central Region Orchestra at Messiah College the weekend of March 22 and 23. After auditioning and performing in the PMEA District 7 Orchestra Festival, she advanced to the Region Orchestra Festival. Although the large snow storm from earlier in the week canceled one day of rehearsal from the festival, the students still performed an outstanding and professional-level repertoire with excellence, including parts of Holst’s The Planets, and also Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite.
