The High School’s exceptional music program caught the attention of SUNY Fredonia School of Music faculty members who contacted music teacher Ashley O’Connor and inquired about working with the orchestra students. Three members of Fredonia’s string faculty – Natasha Farny, David Rose and Maureen Yuen – were welcomed to SWR where dozens of students enjoyed a performance by the guest artists, along with master classes for violin, viola, cello, and bass led by the professors. Several high school students performed in the master class and received constructive feedback and helpful comments on how to improve their performance technique.
