Lehigh Valley Music Teachers Association SteelStacks in the Musikfest Cafe
Sunday, August 4, 2024
Hello All,
It was a pleasure serving as the Musikfest Coordinator again with such a
wonderful turnout of a record-breaking number of 41 talented students, attentive
and supportive teachers, and a full audience.
I want to personally and publicly thank Kris Fosbenner and Vicky Serrao for
donating their time to help me with the audition process, which was extremely
lengthy this year, but most rewarding. Auditions took place on Sunday July 27
from 1:00-4:00pm with a record-breaking number of students auditioning this
year.
I also want to take the time to Vicky Serrao, Jennie Flicker, and Susan Kuntz for
helping me organize the students and keeping things moving along. We had a
ninety (90) minute window of performances and keeping 41 student performers
attentive and ready to perform is not always an easy task, but our teachers again
hit the ground running and helped when needed. The audience was graced with
17 vocal and 24 piano performances for a well-balanced program. Another
GREAT TEAM!
As I reflect on a PERFECT afternoon filled with stunning music, I was most proud
of our organization. The students gave a stellar performance, their dress was
professional, and the teachers were equally in awe with their student’s stage
presence and memory skills. We were most appreciative to be indoors, with
ample air-conditioning, as it was in the upper 90 degrees outside…..much too hot
and humid to be performing outside as many of the artists had to do. The
stagehands were most accommodating, the audience was appreciative, and
everything went off without a glitch. So, in closing, I welcome the opportunity to
present our LVPMTA chapter of students and teachers at Musikfest 2025….
because it was awesome for me as well.
