Master Class
In November 2021, Crane students had the incredible opportunity of a visit from NY Philharmonic Clarinetist Anthony McGill. He gave a 2 hour master class to Crane student performers. Students also heard McGill perform the Mozart Concerto with the Orchestra of Northern New York. Thank you to the Orchestra of Northern New York and Crane Clarinet Association for making McGill's visit possible.
