RIDGEWOOD — How did 13-year-old Jack Szymanski get to Carnegie Hall?
The old saying applies: practice. https://youtu.be/DbemsuB-uRQ
Jack, a student at George Washington Middle School, has been playing piano since he was 7. He practices for 45 minutes every day after school.
As a result, he was a first-place finisher in the Crescendo International Competition, earning a chance to play Jan. 31 in Carnegie Hall. It will be Jack’s second performance at a New York City concert hall this month.
Jack played the Merkin Concert Hall on Jan. 10, a recital for winners of the Vivo International Music Competition, in which Jack placed third.
