DHS Students Perform in All-Eastern Honors Ensembles

From the Darien Public Schools Music Department:

Two Darien High School students were selected to perform this year in the MENC All-Eastern Division Honors Ensembles. Katie Critelli, harpist, and Danielle Tillford, French horn, were selected as part of a small number of students from the state to represent Connecticut at the Eastern Division Music Conference held in Baltimore, Maryland on March 31 to April 3.  

The Darien students joined other top music students from throughout the Eastern United States to form Honors Ensembles that were conducted by nationally recognized conductors. Katie Critelli performed as a member of the All-Eastern Honors Wind Ensemble and Danielle Tillford performed as a member of the All-Eastern Honors Orchestra.

“This is one of the highest achievements that can be awarded to high school musicians, and we are very fortunate and proud to have two students from Darien participate in these national level ensembles," said Richard Sadlon Darien Public Schools Director of Music.
