Bronxville High School Shines at 2025 Area All-State Festival

Nineteen Bronxville High School musicians represented the district with excellence at the 2025 Area All-State Festival, held at SUNY Purchase on Thursday, October 30. Selected from more than 1,000 students across the region, these talented performers earned their spots through outstanding NYSSMA solo scores from last spring.  

In preparation for the festival, students participated in two intensive four-hour rehearsals in October, followed by a full-day rehearsal leading up to the evening concert. Their hard work and dedication culminated in a remarkable performance that showcased both individual skill and collective artistry.  

Bronxville students were featured across chorus, band, and orchestra ensembles, demonstrating the depth and diversity of the district’s music programs. 

The following students were selected for this distinguished honor: 

Chorus: Peyton Gallo, Katie Fezza, Charlotte Haller, and Cooper Caruso.  

Band: Ella Brinster (French Horn), Sean Spillane (tuba), and Maxwell Stein (oboe). 

Orchestra: Tiantong Wang (oboe and English horn), Abigail Fong, Alex Cebenoyan, Ava Toolan, Camille Gautier, Charlotte Davis, Kian Farhoush, Samuel Bright, and Charlotte Dorr.  

The festival performance highlighted the commitment these students have shown to their musicianship and the strength of Bronxville’s performance arts program. Their dedication, preparation, and passion were evident on stage, earning praise from festival directors and audience members alike.  

Bronxville High School congratulates all of the Area All-State participants on this impressive achievement and celebrates the pride they bring to the school community through their hard work and exceptional talent.
