Virtual Performapaloozathon!
Watch our school-wide virtual showcase finale!
From 800+ homes across the city… it’s our annual Performapaloozathon event (virtual edition)!
It’s #ANewWorld of challenge and hardship. But that hasn’t stopped our students and teachers from working harder than ever. Music and the ability to express, to partake in beauty, to be a part of something greater, to feel worthy – these are not discretionary for us, and our mission feels more important than ever.
Thank you to all who joined in our triumphant Performapaloozathon celebration, cheered our students on as they performed over 20 virtual concerts over 7 days, and tuned in for our amazing virtual showcase finale on June 21. On behalf of our staff, faculty, students, and families, thank you for being a part of our community through thick and thin, in person and online!
