Stony Brook, NY - November 7th, 2014 - Through a partnership with Stony Brook University, more than 40 William Floyd High School foreign language and music department students recently had the opportunity to attend a live performance of the Grammy Award-winning Spanish Harlem Orchestra at the Staller Center for the Arts.

“Known for their outstanding performances of Latin jazz and salsa, students were immersed in a unique learning experience that was not only exceptionally musical, but also culturally authentic and primarily in Spanish,” said Ryan Feldscher, Lead Music Teacher, William Floyd School District.

The event was organized by high school principal Barbara Butler, and teachers Amy Sckipp (music), Ryan Feldscher (music), Derek Robinson (foreign language), Esmeralda Soto (foreign language) and Carol Janowicz (foreign language). Special thanks to Stony Brook University and the Staller Center for the Arts for hosting the students and staff.
