5 Franklin High School Music Students Perform at Annual All-State Concert

Superintendent Lucas Giguere and Director of Visual & Performing Arts Diane Plouffe are pleased to share that five Franklin High School musicians recently performed in the Annual All-State Concert.

Each year, the Massachusetts Music Educators Association (MMEA) hosts the All-State Concert, featuring performances from some of Massachusetts' best student-musicians in chorus, concert band, jazz band, orchestra, and treble chorus.

Five students in the Franklin High School music program auditioned and were accepted into the All-State Honor Ensembles. The performances took place on March 29 at Symphony Hall in Boston.

Alexander Fioravanti (euphonium) and Sophia Francis Fracassa (French horn) performed in the All-State Band. Chongyu Liu (violin), Abram “Ace” Eagerman (bass), and Emma Anderson (French horn) perform with the All-State Orchestra.

"I am incredibly proud of our five Franklin High School students who were selected to perform in the All-State Concert," Plouffe said. "This prestigious event brings together the top musicians from across Massachusetts, and it is a true honor for our students to be a part of it."

"Congratulations to our talented Franklin High School student-musicians for this honorable achievement," Superintendent Giguere said. "Performing alongside some of their most talented peers in the state showcases their dedication and artistry and is an experience they can carry with them for years to come."
