Congratulations to our students!

10th grader Stephanie Chang, piano student of Svitlana Fiorito, was accepted into the Juilliard pre-college program! This program is very competitive - this year only 6 students were accepted from hundreds of applicants worldwide. Congratulations to Stephanie and her teacher for such an amazing accomplishment! Stephanie has been studying at SMAA since the age of 5. Below you can find her orchestra debut with the Connecticut Virtuosi Summer Music Institute Orchestra, performing N. Silvansky - Children's Piano Concerto Mov.I-3 at just 6 years old! Also below you will find a more recent recording of Chopin's Scherzo No. 4 in Eb Major.
