The 20th anniversary Gala was held on January 20th, 2018. This annual event and fundraiser was one of the first in the country to use a musical showcase to celebrate and help fund the musical arts programs. The amazing talent of the kids was on display again, and as happens every year there were a few extraordinary talents.
What really stands out though is the level of musicianship and vocal mastery of all the kids. Its a tribute to our our community and its support for the arts, our great music program and teaching staff and most of all the parents and children that participate.
Here is a short clip that showcases local talent with the Summer Stage production of 42nd Street. Enjoy!
