Preparatory School

NEC’s Preparatory School is pleased to announce Erica J. Washburn will take on leadership of the Youth Chorale and Camerata for the 2019/2020 academic year.

Fei Yang-Sady, age 11, and Keila Wakao, age 13, won the James R. Powers concerto competition.

“I’ve spent my first four months here on something of a whirlwind listening tour, trying to get to know NEC from the inside,” said Kalyn in her inauguration speech.

The April 26 ceremony emphasized what students can do for the world through music; April 27 gala focused on NEC students and the creativity, compassion and conviction they bring to music making.
