Congratulations to two outstanding students from our district, Jennifer Zhou, flute, and Brooke Zhang, piano. Both have won the East Central Division Semi-finals in the MTNA competition at Oberlin on January 17th.
Their proud teachers are Beth Owen, NCTM, and Nina Polonsky, respectively. Both performers will go to the MTNA conference to compete in March. Good luck!

Opportunity for two advanced piano students

Subject: pianists for a show
I am the musical director for the Pleasure Guild production of “Beauty and
the Beast” that will take place at the Palace Theatre in early March. All
the dates are below.
I need two pianists to play in the pit orchestra and was hoping you could
recommend some advanced players for this show. The production is to raise money for Children’s Hospital and, thus a charity gig, i.e. no money, just a chance to play with a good pit orchestra and a tax write-off. I would be grateful for any names you can give me of good pianists who can play a Broadway show.
Thank you,
Tony McDonald
