South High students Hugh Choi (flute), Sarah Sun (alto saxophone) and Selena Lu (piano) will perform Trio No. 1 for Flute, Alto Saxophone and Piano by Russell Peterson.

The Young Musicians Concert at Alice Tully Hall features winning ensembles from semifinal regional competitions conducted in New York City, New Jersey and Long Island.

Four chamber music ensembles from the Great Neck Public Schools competed in the 2025 Long Island Regional High School Young Musicians Concert, which was hosted at South High School on March 6.

The Chamber Music Society Young Musicians Program was created in 1998 and Great Neck high schools have participated nearly every year since its inception.

The North High chamber music program is coordinated by Pamela Levy, fine and performing arts department chair/vocal teacher, and Esther Noh, instrumental teacher. The South High chamber music program is coordinated by Michael Schwartz, performing arts department head/instrumental teacher, and Janine Robinson, vocal teacher.
