Hendrick Hudson Junior to Perform at World-Renowned Concert Venues

Hendrick Hudson musician Alexandra Numeroff was recently awarded two major honors.

The high school junior auditioned and was accepted into the Worldstrides Honors Performance Program as a member of the Honor Choir. Numeroff will now have an opportunity to perform at two world-renowned concert venues: next month at Carnegie Hall in Manhattan and again in July at the Sydney Opera House.

“Having the opportunity to perform at internationally-known venues is such an honor for me and I am so excited for the experience,” Numeroff said. “I have always wanted to work alongside musicians as passionate as I am, and being able to perform with them on top of exploring the wonders of New York City and Sydney with them will be life-changing for me.”

The Honors Performance Series accepts students based on their talent, dedication and achievements as demonstrated in their application and audition recording, according to Erica Denler, the Director of Choral Music at Hendrick Hudson High School.

During the Honor Choir’s performance next month at Carnegie Hall, Numeroff will perform with talented singers from all over the world and will work under the direction of renowned master conductors. Numeroff will also have the opportunity to tour New York City before performing at the historic venue.

Then, next summer, Numeroff will travel to Sydney, Australia, where the selected students will again rehearse and perform with student-musicians from all over the world and at the direction of master conductors.

During the visit to Sydney, these students will have time to tour the city, take a day trip into the Blue Mountains and observe some of Australia’s notable animals, such as kangaroos, emus and koalas.

Of course, Numeroff’s trip will be highlighted by a performance at the Sydney Opera House, which is located on the water in Sydney Harbour and is considered both one of the world’s most famous concert venues and works of architecture.

Denler said these special experiences will be the result of Numeroff’s relentless drive to improve.

“Alexandra is such a talented, dedicated student,” Denler said. “Watching their talent grow these past few years and now seeing them take the stage in both Carnegie Hall and the Sydney Opera House feels me with such immense pride. It’s a testament to their hard work, passion and dedication. I know Alexandra will make Hen Hud proud!”
