Listen to Minnesota Public Radio’s Classical station next week to hear selections from the 2012-2013 Minnesota Music Educators Assocation all-state ensembles, which include Mounds Park Academy students.
MPR has named the week of February 25 All-State Week on Classical MPR (99.5 FM). The All-State Orchestra will be heard on Monday, Feb. 25 at 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. with the Shotakovich Symphony as a web feature. MPA 11th graders Alex Campanelli, Kethan Dahlberg, and Eliza Edwards all played in the All-State Orchestra. MPA seniors Jackson Beck, Mason McElvain, and Stefan Schwochau performed with the All-State Men’s Choir at Benson Great Hall on Saturday, February 16.

In addition to the Upper School students performing in All-State ensembles, two MPA Middle School students – Theo JF. and Sylvia R. – participated in the MNSOTA (Minnesota String & Orchestra Teachers Association) Middle Level Honors Orchestra last weekend.
Congratulations to all of these musicians and vocalists on their performances!
