”Some of our first graders had a visit from four high school students from Interlochen Center for the Arts, part of an initiative called “Back to Bach.” The high school musicians are “very passionate” about their instruments and studies and hope to inspire and open the eyes and hearts of others to the possibilities of classical music. They talked about their instruments – cello, classical guitar, viola and piano – played some pieces and answered questions. Thank you to these very talented students for sharing their love of classical music and hitting a high note with our Stars!
