We also provide outreach for Middle and High School students:
“Learning About Dvorák: Dvorak's life was incredibly interesting, and I did not know (there was) so much to know about him. Often the New World Symphony and other themes are cited as being composed based on Native American themes, but I didn't know how much of a close connection he had with so many Native Americans and his life in America.”
- Arthur, 8th grade
“I have heard Amazing Grace played many times before, but I never really understood it and when it was played on the Native American flute it was like a whole other song and it was much deeper than the original version. Thank you!”
- Amaliya 8th grade
“I didn't know…that there would be slave owners like John Newton to openly talk about how he regretted what he did.”
- Daphne, 7th grade
