The Bethpage Union Free School District is proud to announce that 47 student-musicians were selected to participate in the 2024 Nassau Music Educators Association All-County Music Festival in January. This year’s festival will be held at the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts at LIU Post and will feature talented Nassau County student-musicians.
Each year, students are selected to attend the festival based on their performance at the New York State School Music Association Adjudication Festival. They also must be nominated by their music teachers.
In addition, 10 Bethpage student-musicians were selected to attend the Long Island String Festival Association’s upcoming intermediate and secondary festivals. The Nassau Secondary Festival will be held Feb. 2-4 at Levittown’s Wisdom Lane Middle School and will feature students-musicians from grades 9-12. The Nassau Intermediate Festival will be held March 1-3 at Uniondale High School and will include student-musicians from grades 5-8. During both festivals, student-musicians from across Nassau County will participate in rehearsals and a culminating concert.
