PERFORMING ARTS

MUSIC: Over 130 Bronx Science students participate in a total of four music ensembles: jazz band, concert band, chorus, and orchestra. All groups performed wonderfully at the 2022 Winter Concert and 2023 Spring Concert. The concerts feature pieces from a variety of genres, from madrigals to Disney to Charlie Parker and Shostakovich. The chorus and jazz band also performed for our alumni at the Bronx Science 85th Anniversary playing a medley of Bronx Science related songs such as the Star Wars theme for Hall of Famer Jon Favreau ‘84, songs from Hall of Famer Bobby Darin ‘53 and even an Elvis song which was written by Warren Nadel ‘47, an accomplished dentist who wrote more than a dozen songs for Elvis under his pseudonym Randy Starr.

THEATER: This year, the school’s theater company - the Atomic Theatre Company - presented She Kills Monsters, a play about a teenage girl who discovers more about her recently passed sister through Dungeons and Dragons campaign. In the spring, students performed the Tony award winning musical Rent. The student-led club S!NG also premiered their original production Backfire, the culmination of an almost year-long effort that began with months of script—and songwriting by students.
