Bethel Middle School is proud to announce that eight of its chorus students participated in the Connecticut Music Educators Association (CMEA)'s annual 2-day Western Region Middle School Music Festival, held March 16 & 17 at Western Connecticut State University. These students were selected by their choir director, Mr. Todd Gorski, a CMEA member. These students prepared music weekly after school with Mr. Gorski from January through March and joined singers from dozens of middle schools in Connecticut's Western Region to create a large choir of the highest quality. These students spent two days under the direction of Sophia Miller, a conductor of the Young People's Chorus in New York City. Saturday's choir concert featured pieces in three different languages, and included a deeply moving arrangement of the popular Irish tune "Danny Boy".
These students are exceptional members of Bethel's award-winning music department.
