In September, the students had the opportunity to visit Washington, D.C. for the opening festival of REACH, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts facility expansion, and perform with Black Violin. Black Violin artists Kev Marcus and Wil B. were so impressed by the students’ performances, they invited the students to join them on stage again at their Dreamers Dream event this weekend.
The Turnaround Arts is a program of the Kennedy Center that transforms schools through the strategic use of the arts. For more information visit, turnaroundarts.kennedy-center.org/. For more information on Black Violin, visit turnaroundarts.kennedy-center.org/portfolio/black-violin/.
