Music Department

On October 19^th, Sayville High School Junior Nick Burkel made his Carnegie Hall solo debut with the New York Concerti-Sinfoietta Orchestra.

Over the summer, Nick performed in a concerto competition sponsored by this orchestra and won a First Place Award which included a scholarship and a performance with the orchestra in Carnegie Hall.

Nick’s performance of the First Movement of the Saint-Saens Cello Concerto No. 1 was absolutelybeautiful, earning him a tremendous ovation from the audience.

Reviews of the performance were equally outstanding. The Epoch Times wrote: 

“Burkel's  performance was distinguished by incendiary temperament, well-articulated bowings... His exuberant approach, with double stops blessedly in tune, evidenced a thorough command of his instrument.”

We are so proud of Nick's achievements and are looking forward to hearing more from this extremely talented young man!
