A round of applause to Mt. Pleasant Elementary second grade student, Gabriella Stanco, who will be playing at Carnegie Hall next month.

Gabriella won the silver award for her submission, M. Clementi – Sonata Op. 36, No. 3: Spiritoso. She was among several students chosen out of more than 500 nominees to play at the Golden Key Music Festival.

Part of the judge’s comments to Gabriella were, “I enjoyed your performance. It’s obvious that you like this music and play it with a full understanding of its character and structure.”
