The Pine Bush Music Department is proud to announce that Tommy Brendel has been selected as the guitarist for the 2021 New York All-State Jazz Ensemble. This is the highest honor a student can attain, and it was based on his past performances, his flawless NYSSMA solo festival scores and judges comments.
Tommy was determined to be the best jazz guitarist in all of New York state and he has achieved it! Just one guitarist in the state is selected for this ensemble.
Tommy will be rehearsing and performing at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N.Y., from Dec. 2-5.
We are #PineBushProud of Tommy and wish him the very best at the festival.
