Sing it loud, sing it proud!

Albany High »Æ¹ÏÊÓÆµsenior Iris Whalen has been accepted to perform in the highly competitive Treble Chorus of the Conference All-State Music Festival later this year.

Whalen was chosen from thousands of singers throughout the state after her exceptional performance at last spring’s New York State »Æ¹ÏÊÓÆµMusic Association solo festival. She will perform in the All-State Music Festival in Rochester at a Dec. 8 concert at the renowned Eastman »Æ¹ÏÊÓÆµof Music.

She also has been accepted into Albany Pro Musica’s High »Æ¹ÏÊÓÆµMusic Internship Program, which she auditioned for over the summer along with other talented singers from the Capital Region.
