​

New Horizons Choir Director Madeline Ferguson is currently  attending University of Maryland to study clarinet performance under Professor Robert DiLutis. Maddie first picked up the clarinet at the age of nine and immediately fell in love. Prior to college, her primary teachers were Mr. Chris Izzo and Mr. Robert Lehner. She was also fortunate to spend time studying under John Fullam, Kenneth Grant, Paul Demers, and Will Amsel. Maddie participated in the Greater Buffalo Youth Orchestra for three years. One of the most memorable times in her life has been the week she spent touring Italy with the ensemble, playing in beautiful and historic churches and venues. Some of Maddie’s other musical accomplishments include winning the position of principal clarinet in both the New York All-State Symphony Orchestra and New York All-State Symphonic Band, being awarded the Buffalo Philharmonic Scholarship, being selected for the Interlochen Wind Ensemble Festival, and being selected to attend the Eastman Music Horizons Summer Festival.
