Parsippany High Schooler Recognized for Musical Prowess

One of Parsippany’s finest young musicians was recently recognized at the county level by the Morristown Performing Arts Center, along with several other counterparts from Morris County.

Phyllis Choo, a junior at Parsippany High School, was one of seven students named a Music Student of the Month in February (outstanding string musicians) by the performing arts center.

Choo was nominated by teacher Gregory Dalakian for he work as a cellist and participation in her school pit orchestras. She’s also been a member of the Region Orchestra for the past three years and All-State Orchestra the past two years.

Choo also plays the flute in the Parsippany High School Wind Ensemble and is a piano player to boot.

Choo, along with students from other towns, were recognized before a Feb. 22 performance at the center. Students recognized by the center are invited to return for a year-end recital in June.
