Three Churchville-Chili student musicians have been selected to perform with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra this holiday season. Graham Wohlers (Bass 2), Paige Sugarman (Soprano 2) and Sydney Burnett (Soprano 1) will perform in the Festival High School Chorale during the Gala Holiday Pops performances this December.
The students were among 145 selected to perform out of 225 nominations. Students will prepare and rehearse the music on their own leading up to the recital, with the full group coming together to rehearse three times with Principal Pops Conductor Jeff Tyzik before performing for a crowd.
The performances will be held at Kodak Hall Friday, December 20, through Sunday, December 22, and will feature nine holiday pieces including “Silent Night,” “Ave Maria,” “We Wish You a Merry Christmas,” and more. Tickets can be purchased on the RPO website at https://rpo.org/event/gala-holiday-pops/.
