Music Spotlight: Alexandra Blaise
Alexandra Blaise is a talented Chenango Valley musician with a passion for the flute and piccolo! After months of dedicated practice, Alexandra earned a soloist spot with the May 2025 Binghamton Youth Symphony Orchestra on the flute. She was also selected as a NYSSMA alternate on the piccolo.
Alexandra shared: “I feel excited that my hard work paid off and is recognized, and that I get this lovely opportunity to play with such talented musicians from around the area.”
With current goals of becoming a music teacher or joining a traveling orchestra, Alexandra is a wonderful example of where dedication and passion can lead. Congratulations, Alexandra!
