Local students, as part of The College of New Jersey Wind Ensemble, have been selected to perform at the College Band Directors National Association Eastern Division Conference in Boston from March 6-8 at the New England Conservatory of Music.
Four Hillsborough residents will be performing as part of the group. They are Alex Block, Jason Hui, Thomas Ploskonka and Justin Ploskonka.
The conference centers on the theme of “Crossing Over” and features styles of music performed in wind band repertoire jazz, world, ethnic, techno, pop and fusion.
Over the course of three days, musicians, scholars and educators will come together to partake in concerts, master classes, and lectures all related to the theme of crossover music.
Aside from the conference, the Wind Ensemble will also stop at John P. Stevens High School in Edison to perform and chat with students interested in pursing music as a career.
