Moira Hammel, Warren, a student at Harwood Union High School, has been selected for the 2012 American High School Honors Performance Series at Carnegie Hall. She will be a part of the Honors Choir as a soprano. Participation in the Honors Orchestra, Honors Band and Honors Choir is limited to the highest rated high school performers from across North America and select international schools.
Hammel auditioned this past June for the Honors Performance Series and was accepted after a review by the selection board committee. Acceptance to the group is a result of the talent, dedication and achievements demonstrated in her application and audition recording. She will join other performers from the United States and Canada for a performance at Carnegie Hall.
Hammel studies music with Stefanie Weigand and is a member of her school choir and select vocal group. Additionally, she is active in the Harwood theater department and the Young Singers Chorus of Vermont. She is the daughter of John and Joyce Hammel.
Finalists will come together for five days in February 2012 in New York City to work with Dr. Jeffery Ames, work with other finalists and get a taste of New York City. The 2012 conductors are Dr. Jeffery Ames, Dr. Charles Peltz and Jeffrey Grogan. The Sunday, February 12, performance is available to the public and representatives from collegiate music programs.
The Honors Performance Series was created to showcase accomplished individual high school performers by allowing them to study under master conductors and perform at Carnegie Hall.
Students from 48 states, Canada, Germany, Korea and Taiwan have participated in the series. Learn more by visiting www.honorsperformance.org.
