In April 2025, Claire Kraemer earned a place in the prestigious Minnesota Music Educators Association (MMEA) All-State Program, recognized as one of the nation’s top programs for developing young musicians. The MMEA All-State Program brings together talented students from across Minnesota, offering them the chance to audition and perform with elite bands, choirs, and orchestras.
Claire attended an intensive camp the last week of July 2025 at Concordia College in Moorhead. There, students spent long hours rehearsing with renowned conductors and coaches, further developing their musical skills. The camp culminated with a concert
on August 1st, showcasing their hard work and exceptional talent.
The journey didn’t end there. On February 14, 2026, all three
All-State choirs reunite to perform at Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis
as part of the MMEA Midwinter Convention—one of the highlights
