🔥 STATE SOLO & ENSEMBLE SUCCESS 🔥
last weekend, 3️⃣ Westlake High School chamber ensembles represented at the Texas State Solo & Ensemble Competition at the University of Texas at Austin—Butler School of Music 🎻🏛️
We are beyond proud to share their results:
🥇🥇 Two ensembles earned Division I (Superior) ratings
🥈 One ensemble earned a Division II (Excellent) rating
These performances reflect an entire semester of serious dedication, rehearsals, musical risk-taking, and true ensemble listening. Watching these students rise to this level of artistry is what chamber music is all about 💫
HUGE gratitude to Westlake HS Orchestra Director for his leadership and support 🙌🏽 and to chamber coach for his guidance, insight, and care throughout the process 🎶
Proud doesn’t begin to cover it—congratulations to all of these musicians on an incredible statewide showing!! 🎉🎉
