Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School has four ensembles participating in the 3rd Annual Brooklyn Philharmonic Student Chamber Ensemble Festival on Saturday, March 20, 2010. The program starts at 9:30 AM and ends at 2:00 PM. Loughlin has a strong relationship with the Festival as it is not only hosted in Loughlin’s auditorium; it is also sponsored by Bishop Loughlin alum, Brian Connolly '73. Mr. Connolly, who never played an instrument himself, sponsors the Festival because he has a big appreciation for the place of music in an academic endeavor. 
All of the ensembles that participate are given a master class by a member of the Philharmonic. This is a great opportunity and privilege that is much appreciated by the students. It’s a tough competition for Loughlin as most of its students here have started their instrument in high school while most of the students at the other participating schools have taken up their instrument at an earlier age. A big thanks is due to Mr. Maffei, Director of Performing Arts, for his working tireously with the ensembles, who have been practicing four days a week since January, and with the Philharmonic to organize the festival.
