Avon Senior to Play at Carnegie Hall

Avon High School Senior and tuba player, Zach Domrese, has been selected to play in the All-American Honors Orchestra which will perform at Carnegie Hall on Saturday, February 19, 2011.

Domrese has been with the Avon Marching Black & Gold all four years winning 3 National Championships and 3 State Championships as well as an Avon Wind Ensemble member for 3 years. He has been in both the Indiana Music Educators Association ((IMEA) and Indiana Bandmasters Association (IBA) All-State Bands in 2010. He will be in the IMEA Honor Band again in 2011 and will audition for IBA All-State this January. Domrese also received a Gold rating last year at the State Indiana State School Music Association (ISSMA) Solo competition.

This series challenges elite students to perform at their very best. Students rehearse and perform under master conductors and have the opportunity to perform before invited representatives from collegiate and professional music programs. Though much of the student’s time is focused on performance preparation, the week also allows students to experience the best of the sights and the performance arts in New York City.

The Honors Performance Series at Carnegie Hall was established to showcase some of the most talented student performers in high school today. Through director nomination and selection process, accomplished students are brought together in New York City with peers to comprise the Honors Choir and Honors Instrumental Ensembles.
