A student at Pella Middle School has been selected for the Middle School Honors Performance Series at Carnegie Hall. Kyler Lyons will perform in June with the Honors Junior String Orchestra. Participation in the Honors Ensembles is limited to the highest-rated young performers from across the world.

Kyler auditioned for the Honors Performance Series and was recently accepted after a review by the Honors Selection Board. Lyons will join performers from around the world for a special performance at the world-famous Carnegie Hall. The finalists will come together in New York City, where they will have the opportunity to learn from world-renowned conductors and work with other performers. The Honors Performance will take place June 24-28 and is open to the public.

“Being selected to the Honors Performance Series is something each Finalist should be extremely proud of accomplishing,” said Marion Gomez, Music Director for the Honors Performance Series. “We processed nearly 10,000 nominations this year and have selected the most talented student performers from around the world. Working with these conductors and performing at these renowned music halls is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that these musicians will never forget.”
