Twenty-six students from W.T. Clarke High School were welcomed into Chapter 1768 of the Tri-M Music Honor Society in an induction ceremony held on April 9 at Verdi’s restaurant in Westbury.
The event included a flute and clarinet duet by W.T. Clarke musicians Alexandra Leonardo and Brianna Riggs, along with a vocal duet by Margaret Cotter and Gina Principato. Jordi Ariel Lotito and Daniel Wang also entertained the crowd with a dazzling violin duet.
Later in the evening, Clarke alumna Kristen Norwark was presented with an honorary lifetime membership into the society, and Tri-M officers were introduced to the crowd. Abby Behr, the district’s director of music and art, presented certificates to the new inductees and recognized the society’s continuing members.
The Tri-M Music Honor Society is the international music honor society for middle/junior high and high school students, and is designed to recognize young musicians for their academic and musical achievements. According to the National Association for Music Education website, the society’s purpose is to reward the student-musicians for their accomplishments and service activities, and to inspire other students to excel in music and leadership.
