Hochstein Ensemble Chosen for the ASTA Convention

Hochstein Ensemble Chosen for the ASTA Convention

C4, a cello rock ensemble from Hochstein School of Music & Dance in Rochester, NY was selected to perform at the Eclectic Strings Festival, a part of our National ASTA Convention, March 22 – 24, 2012 in Atlanta, Georgia. C4 is coached by percussionist Ivan Trevino, a member of Break of Reality, and cellist Kathy Kemp, assistant principal cellist of the Rochester Philharmonic.  The group applied to attend the annual convention with the chance to have hands on adjudication and competition. In addition they will compete for the Grand Prize – a chance to serve as the opening act for the internationally renowned Barrage, a violin rock ensemble, during the Saturday evening concert on March 24th.  C4 will join Barrage on stage for one of their pieces during the Saturday evening concert.
