Junction City High School senior Mahkayla Cole has been selected for the 2022 High School Honors Performance Series in February at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Cole will perform Vocal Alto 2 with the High School Honors Concert Choir.
Cole auditioned for the Honors Performance Series earlier this year and was recently accepted after a review by the Honors Selection Board. “I’m so excited to see and perform at Carnegie Hall and share my passion for music with other talented musicians,” Cole said.
Cole joins 47 students from the United States, Australia, Bermuda, China, Guam, and South Korea in New York City for five days in February for the opportunity to learn from world-renowned conductors, work with one another, get a taste of New York City, and perform at a venue that marks the pinnacle of musical achievement: Carnegie Hall.
Cole has studied music for 10 years and is a member of the Junction City High School Chamber Choir, Wind Ensemble, Percussion Ensemble, and Marching Band.
