BHS Student Selected for NYSSMA Songwriters Showcase

Brighton High School senior Frances Lovett was selected to participate in the New York State School Music Association’s (NYSSMA) Songwriters Showcase at the All-State Winter Conference. She will perform at a concert at the Rochester Convention Center on Dec. 5.

Lovett and her band teacher, Dr. Sarah Fischer-Croneis, submitted her original song, “I Tried,” in the spring. A panel of judges evaluated the submissions and accepted just 10 students from across the state to feature in the concert. She will also get the opportunity to work with songwriting professionals in a workshop.

The senior plays bassoon in the BHS Wind Ensemble and sings in the Mixed Concert Choir. Lovett recorded an album last spring and has been performing around Rochester. You can listen to her song on all the major streaming platforms.
