Babylon HS Hosts Ensemble Concert

Dozens of award-winning musicians from Babylon High School had the opportunity to perform in front of their friends, family, teachers and classmates this week in a winter concert held at Babylon High School’s Rowe Hall auditorium.

Performances were made by the high school flute ensemble, the Junior High Jazz Band and Senior High Jazz Band. Later in the evening, the clarinet ensemble wowed the crowd with several ear-pleasing numbers.

Moments before the first performance of the evening, Babylon Director of Fine Arts Angela Turk announced to the crowd that 19 musicians from the Babylon School District have been selected to this year’s Suffolk County Music Educators Association festival, and five others earned spots in the Long Island String Festival.

Additionally, Babylon High School drummer James Navarra has been named to the All-Suffolk County Jazz Ensemble. Turk thanked the Babylon community for its continued support of music and arts education in the Babylon School District.
