The Sound of Music in the West Orange School District

Submitted by Amy Simon

The West Orange school district is known for its extensive music program at all educational levels, elementary, middle and high school. The winter season in West Orange enjoys the fruits of this commitment to music education with a series of winter concerts to be held throughout the district.

“It is amazing to see these young performers accomplishing so much by December,” said Director of Visual and Performing Arts Louis Quagliato. “ Whether it’s the third grade recorder class or the fifth grade band. The middle school orchestras and chorus to the budding professional level of the West Orange High School strings, orchestra and choral groups, it inspires me every year to see and hear how our students perform during the winter concert events.”
