Ansonia High School music department slates 2 free performances in March, April
From the desk of Maria Tangredi, Choral, Band, and Music Director:
The AHS Music Department has two free performances coming up.
Our 2nd annual Choral Coffeehouse will be held at 6 p.m. March 21 in the atrium with performances by our AHS Mixed Chorus and the winners of the AHS Talent Show.
This performance is a celebration of Arts in Our Schools Month and will be highlighted with contributions from Mrs. Cianciolo's students and from Ms. Feliconio's students.
On April 23, our band students will present an Instrument Petting Zoo in the atrium as part of our 2nd annual Band Expo, beginning at 6 p.m. for anyone curious in trying a musical instrument for the first time!
This demonstration will be followed by a performance featuring our AHS Concert Band, as well as AMS Band students, and possibly our newest elementary band students!
We hope that you and your families will be able to attend both of these events!
