Rutherford County students Isabella Kinard, Robin Houghton and Aubrey Redhair have been selected for the 2022 High School Honors Performance Series at Carnegie Hall in New York.

Kinard is a violist from Central Magnet. Houghton and Redhair are voice students from Riverdale High. They will participate in the Honors Instrumental Performance and Honors Choral Performance respectively.

The finalists — including students from 47 states, Australia, Bermuda, China, Guam and South Korea — will gather in New York for five days, which culminates with performances on Feb. 5-6.

During the first three days, Kinard, Houghton and Redhair and the other students will learn from world-renowned conductors.

“We processed nearly 10,000 nominations this year and have selected over 500 of the most talented student performers from around the world,” Marion Gomez, programming director for the series, said in a news release.

Kinard described the opportunity as an honor and a dream.
