Everything we do here at People’s prepares our students for life’s greater stage.\u00a0 Problem-solving, goal-setting, execution, empathy, resilience, discipline – the study of music provides a remarkable foil through which to deliver meaningful teaching moments.\u00a0 But we could use your help.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Case in point: I am so proud to announce, once again, that\u00a0100% of our seniors will graduate high school, and 100% will enter college in Fall, 2017<\/span><\/b>.\u00a0 A remarkable achievement given that the average graduation rate hovers closer to 50% in the neighborhoods our students come from.\u00a0\u00a0 The acceptances rolled in from Northwestern, Valpo, Miami of Ohio, University of Chicago, Marquette, Grinnell, and many more.\u00a0\u00a0But as\u00a0I meet with each senior to discuss their plans,\u00a0<\/span>it’s all about Dvo\u0159\u00e1k 9th.<\/a><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Some of you may know this incredible\u00a0symphony, nicknamed “From the New World”.\u00a0 (Fun fact: Neil Armstrong was listening to this as he landed on the moon!)\u00a0 The piece is about Dvo\u0159\u00e1k experiencing America for the first time, with its wide open spaces so different than his native\u00a0Bohemia.\u00a0\u00a0Gorgeously poignant\u00a0melody lines\u00a0drawn from negro spirituals, Native American rhythms, Bohemian accents and colors woven throughout… And somehow, instead of sounding like a hodge-podge of foreign ideas, the\u00a0music feels achingly familiar and universal. And still relevant, over 100 years later.<\/p>\n

\n

How? Because I believe this\u00a0piece taps into an underlying essence in each of us – a yearning to be authentic to who you are now while exploring what you could become, to understand the worlds within you as well as outside of you.\u00a0 And it paints a\u00a0heart-filling picture of hope and opportunity when you stretch beyond your borders.<\/p>\n

As we send our seniors off into their new worlds, it is with this message of their potential to be realized – how proud we are of them today, but how much more there is to grow and explore, and what an amazing piece of work their lives will become through it.\u00a0 It reminds me of something\u00a0Yo-Yo Ma told our students<\/a>\u00a0at Forefront a\u00a0few months ago:\u00a0 “think of your life\u00a0as your voice, and live your life like it’s your art form”.<\/p>\n

While our community continues to come #together,\u00a0we are an ongoing safe space<\/a>\u00a0for our students physically, emotionally, mentally.\u00a0<\/span>And with a foundation of character-building values and life skills from People\u2019s, they are emboldened to face the future.\u00a0#Nowmorethanever, we could use your help in transforming hundreds of young people across Chicago. Volunteers, mentors, matching sponsors, will you get involved and stretch into new worlds with us?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Join us for our incredible\u00a0Performapaloozathon on\u00a0Saturday, June 3rd<\/span><\/a>\u00a0– a day not to miss, with lots of interactive music-making with the exciting Third Coast Percussion, fresh off their Grammy win. Pop by, bring friends and family, and enjoy the very special community of The People’s Music School! I’d love to see you there!<\/p>\n

All best,<\/p>\n
