Lawrentians are Golden at NJ Solo Festival

Lawrentians Andrew Noviello '23 and Alex Xia '23 have received Gold One ratings for their performances in the Inaugural New Jersey State Solo & Ensemble (NJSSE) Festival. Noviello performed the Haydn Cello Concerto in C-major and Xia soloed the Haydn Oboe Concerto in C-major. Noviello also scored a Silver rating for his performance of Boccherini's Concerto for Cello in B-flat major.

NJSSE was launched to recognize student achievement in music education across the state. Open to all public or private middle school and high school students, the NJSSE Festival is being held virtually this year to provide opportunities for scholastic music students to showcase their talents either individually or in a small ensemble. The festival is run by Arts Ed NJ with systems support provided by Music for All.
